SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Giving corporate board members a single online hub for communications and participation, Boardroom Software, Inc., today introduced BoardVisionTM, a comprehensive and secure collaboration portal tailored to the administrative needs of corporate secretaries and the informational needs of board members.
Boardroom Software, maker of the popular Equity Enterprise® compliance software, demonstrated BoardVision at the National Association of Stock Plan Professionals conference here, and said the BoardVision portal would be commercially available by the end of 2007. BoardVision operates as a virtual meeting room, where board members and other authorized users can "step in" to retrieve and approve documents, conduct secure discussions between members, and access a range of communications, collaboration, and board management tools. The portal is designed to keep board members well informed before and after their regular meetings, eliminating the costs and time associated with preparing and shipping large quantities of paper documents.
"More than ever before, board members are dispersed and mobile. Traditional methods for meeting preparation, including pre-meeting document revisions, delivery of board meeting materials, approvals, agendas, and discussions, can be costly and time-consuming, and are quickly becoming outdated," said Kent Mansfield, President and Chief Operating Officer of Boardroom Software, Inc. "Also, the standards of corporate governance and the increased desire for risk aversion will soon make this technology a best practice for the majority of corporate boards. BoardVision was designed by a collection of individuals who serve as corporate directors as well as legal counsel and corporate secretaries. It keeps everything related to board of directors or advisory boards under one virtual roof."
BoardVision's suite of features include a personalized web-based dashboard for all users, scheduling tools for meetings, electronic board book management, segregated committee functions, complete document management, including approvals and revision control, and secure discussion forums. The portal streamlines setup and administration of meeting agendas, scheduling, and activity reporting. "BoardVision changes the entire approach to director communications and interaction," Mansfield noted. "Today's directors and corporate secretaries understand the importance of demonstrating their commitment to good governance. BoardVision takes that step with them."
