A free portal for boards may appear to be a great idea particularly for businesses who are operating on a tight budget. After all, the cost of paying for software to manage meeting materials and communication can be quite expensive. Keep in mind, however, that software solutions still fall under the old saying “you get what your pay for”.

Most free programs won’t offer security of the highest level, resulting in weaknesses that could lead to sensitive data leaks. In addition, they lack customer support, leaving the new and existing board members to look and search through the program’s capabilities. This could result in an inadvertently introduced security flaw, and wastes time as people are forced to deal with the frustration of utilizing a variety of free applications and programs that aren’t fully integrated with one another.

A properly configured and implemented board management software system will be optimally secured against unauthorized users. It will incorporate protocols to ensure that communications within the system aren’t made available to others like family members, coworkers, or employers. In addition the system will be equipped with integrated tools to streamline meetings and help reduce administrative burdens.
