A free board portal might appear to be a good idea, particularly for companies with limited budgets. The cost of paying for software that manages meeting materials and communication can be quite expensive. It is important to keep in mind that the old saying “you get what you pay for” is still true for software solutions.
The majority of free programs don’t offer high-level security. This can result in security holes that could expose sensitive data. In addition, they lack customer support, leaving the new and current board members to search and trawl through the software’s capabilities. This approach could result in an inadvertently introduced vulnerability, and it takes time to work through the frustration with a multitude of free apps and programs that aren’t completely integrated with one another.
A properly configured and implemented board management software system will be optimally secured against unauthorized users and has built-in protocols to ensure that communications within the system won’t be accessible to others such as coworkers, family members or employers. In addition the system will be equipped with integrated tools to simplify meetings and reduce administrative burdens.
