Azeus Convene vs. BoardPad (discontinued)

Azeus Convene's security and collaboration features can create a great business case to introduce technology to the executive management team for board-related matters, especially if they are currently using a 'pen and paper' system. Would recommend for larger companies / large executive teams with busy schedules that find it difficult to collaborate.

Everyone is very busy and BoardPad takes the stress away of trying to find all the documents relevant to the meeting. It sends everything to the app, so you can find it straight away on your iPad. Excellent and effective navigation and sets tasks accordingly. Everyone is aware of the actions that [have] been assigned to them. Excellent piece of software that has made meetings more enjoyable.

Incentivized

• Streamlined the way we prepare for, and hold board meetings.
• Our board meetings, especially remote meetings became more interactive.
• Instant distribution of updated documents.
• Enhances real-time collaboration.

Incentivized

• Preparation of Board Books (i.e. reports, minutes, resolutions, etc)
• Collaboration before and during Board meetings
• Trusted source to records Board actions

• Limited individual training sessions - The only clear and concrete advantage that Diligent has over Convene is that they have unlimited individual user training. But Convene is so intuitive and easy-to-use that you don't usually need to go beyond their free first 4 user/administrator training sessions.

• Needs time to configure but well worth it in the end.

Incentivized

Great support and customer service.

As our Board only had confidence in pen-and-paper prior to this implementation, the benefits are obvious (higher security, better collaboration, remote enablement)
