These tools are no longer enough to meet the demands of modern boards. Board members are looking for more than only document sharing and discussion forums from their board management software. Fortunately, new board meetings software was designed to meet these requirements and help businesses make the most of their meetings and decision-making processes.

Many of these software products offer advanced features that enable an array of pre and post-meeting activities. Some of these software solutions even allow for immersive and interactive virtual meetings. Some even provide immersive and interactive virtual meetings.

Some tools allow board members to sign electronically documents, while others allow notes and annotations during meetings. Furthermore, certain software offers more security by allowing administrators to restrict access to specific board members and/or meetings.
