I highly recommend Convene. It has been an excellent board portal. The ability to complete surveys within the app and vote from the comfort of my home doesn't force me to be physically present at board meetings. The platform is also great for meetings within the app from any location.
Using the Convene software from features to security was great, we haven't experienced serious issue. Also if we have any inquiries, support and assistance are provided fast. We have improved meeting preparation, at the same time we also save cost in paper budget.
Features such as the possibility to make notes in the document and share comments with other attendees make it very easy for the board members to share their opinions beforehand. From the administrator’s perspective, the app makes it easier to update the meeting materials as it notifies the users about the update automatically. Time-saving and convenient to use for the Board members as well as for a meeting secretary.
What people have not appreciated is that committees, as well as individuals, can use Convene. I think it works so well to the extent that I have actually gone paperless; something that I thought that I would never achieve
Using it within 3 different companies, I found Convene to be user friendly and rich in functionality. The company behind Convene itself projects a good image. Its employees exercise very good customer care and support.
As soon as we completed our trial of Convene, we rolled it out immediately to our board. Happy to say that it was well-received by our board members and directors.
Before, someone would type up an agenda, type up meeting notes, print it, staple it, write out an envelope, take it to the post room, and then there would be a few days until the board of trustees would received it. Now thanks to Convene, admins can just type it, save it, then drag and drop it. It really is as simple as that! More importantly, we now have a secure and easily accessible historical repository of information, so that any member of staff that has permission, can look back at past documents and find out what was decided at the various meetings in the past.
Your Housing Group was looking for a better way to present complex and extensive reports to the board and the executive. We would collate information and create a single PDF that could contain anything from 20 pages to more than 400 pages. We had to manually number the pages of the documents every time someone sent in their reports or updates before collating them into a single pack. This was time-consuming and larger reports would become difficult to scan, read, and review. This led to us having the idea to use shared iPads with our board members. This got them excited about a change in process and further helped to overcome any apprehension in using a fully digital solution. We then started to look for a platform which was Convene, that would make meetings easier for the board and the team and streamline the process of creating board packs that have to be presented in board meetings.
We’ve been using Convene for over a year now, and I can tell you that we are definitely saving money, but moreover we have found a solution that makes complicated and tedious tasks simple and easy to accomplish.
Convene always gives the latest updates to ensure that users can experience increased security and greater efficiency when using the software.
The support staff and the account executives are amazing and very responsive. The product implementation of Convene itself was very much streamlined. Convene is the central board and committee management solution that's paperless! It is what we exactly needed.
Convene has the greatest capability of effectively increasing meetings efficiency and has many features that are easy to understand. There are essentially no problems to report on the tools capability.
Since we purchased this product, our projects and tasks have been implemented excellently. Our manufacturing team is able to connect with other members in our organization to ensure that we are always on the same page. Convene is one of the most reliable tools we have used in our company.
Convene has been very helpful in ensuring that our management board members can easily share their notes effectively. It has also contributed to the growth of our company since planning and decision making is done by the team being able to work together. It highly promotes teamwork when handling projects and tasks.
Convene is one of the most advanced and clean board management software available in the market that enables meetings, organizing and sharing board documents, documenting them, and generating actions. It is the best software to have in the organization for holding meetings on time, sharing documents with full privacy, and dealing documentation with the organization. It is helping me to share documents online without any prior handling. It allows me to furnish directors with board papers without printing needing. This is much better compared to physically printing out documents before.
