Elegantly simple user interface. Drag and drop capabilities are very useful, and the portal allows for surveys, announcements, resource sharing as well as the standard features expected in all Board Portal packages. The cloud-based functionality is just what is needed.

“OnBoard has taken a very time-consuming convoluted process and made…”
OnBoard has taken a very time-consuming convoluted process and made it easy, intuitive and manageable. I have saved countless hours in prep time and board book assembly as well as, printing cost to include paper and toner. I haven't really run into anything I don't like about OnBoard. Since I am the company expert, I help everyone understand the software and when I can't troubleshoot their issues, I can always count on my Account Executive for help.

This software allows us to provide a much needed one-stop-shop for our Board and Supervisory Committee members. Since OnBoard can be put on any device, our Board is able to securely review the packets well in advance of the meeting, which has really shortened our meetings and eliminated printing large packets. We also love that the Board has all of the resources they need in one location and that they can even sign the minutes and other documents right within OnBoard. More to come!

Easy use and navigating along with easy on boarding new board members. We went from a paper driven document board delivery to electronic format with in 6 months. We still use paper but hope to have that phased out in the near future.
