“There are numerous things I like about this software! I…”
There are numerous things I like about this software! I appreciate how easy the software is to use. It has saved me hours of compiling paper documents for a board book. I can upload information as it comes to me in multiple file formats, and can reorganize the documents within the book effortlessly. When I first started using OnBoard, there were a few features that I had on my "wish list" (I wish it could do "x")--and the developers are so on top of things that I have seen many of my wishes come true as implemented features. They continually refresh the software to make it easier--not add extra steps like you can find with other software. And most of all, I value the immediate attention and service I receive from the team. They always pick up my call, and have an answer or solution ready.

“I am on several committees that use this to organize…”
I am on several committees that use this to organize our meetings. I really like the book feature. Having all of the agenda items in one place and in order for everyone helps the flow of the meeting. Everyone has the some information. Before - we would email attachments to everyone in the meeting. We would then email updated versions because something changed. Then in the meeting, we would have to describe which attachment you are on. Most would print out the attachments. Now that we are all viewing the same docs in the same order, meetings are more efficient and fewer docs need printed.

Preparing the packages and loading documents is extremely easy compared to the old way of combining files into one pdf. I also love the client support. Our rep is always quick to respond and jump on a screen share if necessary to demonstrate any capability I'm having issues with.

“I like that we can set up an agenda for…”
I like that we can set up an agenda for a board meeting, and then be able to copy that same agenda to the next month's meeting (without the attached documents, of course). You can very easily see if you have missed uploading a document into the agenda. It is very user friendly; documents are easy to attach to the proper location in the agenda. It also allows us to store policies, procedures, or any other resource documentation we would like for our board members to have access to. This makes a nice contingency location for these policies too. We are just getting started with this portal, but from what we have seen in doing our first meeting using the portal, "it's a winner". Another great feature is that we can download the board meeting file and have it available for examiners.

Loading content, making edits, compiling, and formatting board reports-what can't OnBoard do? This feature alone was enough for us to make the switch. The option of an app (with Touch ID) has been great as our Board members use tablets during meetings. No more lost usernames and passwords to reset!

OnBoard enables simple and powerful communication between our staff and board of directors. The set up of the program was quick (up within a few hours), training was effective (felt like a pro within 48 hours) and support is prompt and complete. Quite simply OnBoard does not feel like a piece of software but a utility that extends the effective governance organization of our organization. Also, really enjoy the ability to view on multiple devices without any troubles.

“We love how easy it is for the board to…”
We love how easy it is for the board to get the information quickly, Our Board varies from the 30's to the 70's and all of them are able to use it easily ( no matter what age!) No more mailing board packets that will take up so much space, and its so easy to go back and get information from past meetings for reference. For me doing the call report, I no longer have to go through piles of paper and am able to get any information from any month easily! We love love love using this product, and my CEO loves the ease of it as well!

Easy of use is definitely the best part. Everything just works the way it should. The reliability is also fantastic with OnBoard. There are also many updates throughout the year which are always handy to have.
