New updates to this have made it an extremely powerful tool. Flying Minutes feature is very useful for obtaining formal decisions between meetings and then automatically adding them to the next set of minutes. The ability for Directors to update their own interests in the Interests Register is efficient and puts the responsibility on them to ensure this is up to date - this is automatically included in each Board pack. The actions feature is fantastic - allocating a person responsible and an action deadline which then is followed up by BoardPro email reminders keeps people on tasks and allows the Chair to stay on top of actions as they are reported in the Board packs each meeting.

If someone should not be in the workspace, they will not be invited and provided access to the documents. Or, they can be removed from the workspace if needed. Communication about documents is located with the documents in a discussion thread under the document preview. Thus, email inbox clutter can be limited.

M-Files is a great, rich document management system, but until recently focussed less on the collaboration piece.

It clearly shows who updated the last document and when so it is clear who you need to ask if you have questions or something.
