- Barbara Suggitt, company secretary/head of corporate affairs, Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

An easy to use board portal that doesn’t just replicate paper online, but fully utilises the potential that digital offers to improve your board. Navigate your board documents more easily and ensure the board are more informed. While digital board packs are more convenient and more secure, our board portal will also support better governance.
For most organisations, BoardPacks would provide net savings just on the meeting preparation and follow up alone. Have you worked out how much money you spend on the production, assembly and delivery of your board packs? One large corporation has claimed to have saved almost £1.2 million per annum on this. For smaller organisations, the cost might not be so high but proportionately it may be even more significant.
Governance is improved if your board members are better informed. BoardPacks will help your leadership mitigate risk and stay on top of all the information.
BoardPacks is a user-friendly, intuitive board portal, accessible on a PC, phone or tablet. It is an easy way to improve governance, compliance and save time.
All data is stored with the best defences, encrypted and hosted on one of our ISO 27001 data centres, one of which is held in a nuclear bunker.
If you want to try the BoardPacks tablet app out on Android, iPad or Windows tablets, you can use the demo version for free. Alternatively, if you already have a license you can connect to your existing licence from the app.
