BoardEffect a Diligent Brand vs. Inform Direct

BoardEffect is well-suited for larger organizations and companies. I think it makes sense for people who have multiple boards, groups, or committees. I don't think it makes sense if it is a small board that doesn't meet frequently and doesn't share documents online. I think there are many features unnecessary for smaller boards/groups.

• Houses all the information needed for meetings.
• Holds all the older information so we can access it if needed.
• It's fairly easy to use for all our members.
• That it is portable is a great bonus!

• I would love to see BoardEffect work toward a more integrated collaboration system. For example, we have a master tracking document for recruiting new Trustees. It is helpful for everyone to have editing access to this document so that it can be routinely updated ahead of committee meetings.
• It would be helpful if we could message workroom members through the platform while making the email/message appear as if it came directly from my account.
• It would be useful for members of a workroom to be automatically notified when an event is created.

BoardPAC had similar functionality several years ago, but BoardEffect has caught up. I think the editing feature and the ability to build packets that are not visible are great features of BoardEffect.
