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.
I have not experienced any negative points while using this software, so I recommend this software as the best tool where it has helped me a lot in managing, preparing, and running our board and committee meetings. Convene also provides an easily accessible and secure platform thus creating platform security. The software has helped me to save time and money on scheduling meetings and running my administration easily.
Convene’s been great. Its smooth implementation process meant people adopted to it very easily. We haven’t looked back. Convene has helped us get our papers in order in advance of a meeting. It’s a very reliable, mature product. Other more costly board portal solutions failed to meet our required standard such as SharePoint that does not make life easy, or BoardPad which was really expensive, and required lots of hand holding, Convene has made us more disciplined and organized about not wasting time.
Convene is easy to navigate. I learned about it when I once substituted the corporate secretary in one of the board Meetings. The software make remote meetings possible and the staff are also very accommodating.
The software is easy to use and has a real simple and tidy look. It has been very helpful to view papers ahead of meetings with such ease without the need to open and download separate papers. It has also been a real benefit to us to be able to write notes and annotate different papers for my own personal use.
I am confident in recommending Convene to any organization; it is a user-friendly platform whether you are an administrator or user. Our agenda packet can be upwards to 450 pages so we are extremely pleased to move to this efficient, paperless environment. I would also like to add that Convene’s support team is second to none; they respond in record time with an answer and we really appreciate that as well!
Convene provides an easy to use, secure and tech savvy platform that enables us to interact in the digital space more than ever before. Our Board meeting prep is more efficient, participants are now more digitally interactive, and updates are instant. The Convene support team have been great. Nothing has ever been a problem which is key when launching new software with multiple users.
I was easily able to navigate the menu by swiping right and left and when I opened the last board agenda I was able to navigate up and down the headings and pages. More notably, I was able to open and listen to the attachments. One upgrade in the Convene App for you is one giant leap in accessibility for me.
Convene is a streamlined means to conduct our Board and Committee meetings. We have a variety of users who have adopted this platform and it works efficiently to compile and organize large volumes of information. I especially appreciate that the platform can be used to create future meeting templates. This feature saves me time when preparing future meetings by eliminating the need to recreate the meeting outlines each time. I would recommend Convene to anyone who is seeking an automated solution to digitize their meeting processes.
After testing many options, we turned to Convene to manage our board meetings and documents. With multiple levels of technology abilities on our board of directors, we needed a system that was easy to use for all and that centralized all of the meeting documents in an organized manner. Convene has been a great addition to our governance toolbox and has simplified our meeting planning process.
Convene has performed like a dream. I have set up 13 meetings, 12 document libraries and created 22 announcements and numerous meetings pdfs – all without having to refer to any instructions! Some of my most technologically challenged board members who were always getting into trouble on the old board portal product we used, managed to install and use the product without any incidents.
The board of our organization was initially very skeptical towards any online tool that would help facilitate the online meetings, especially having in mind the usual prices. However, already after the second board meeting, when all of them got used to basic functionalities, Convene is now irreplaceable. Document management is the most beneficial for our board, as we upload documents prior to the meetings and go through them during the meeting, We can also comment, change content on the go, with Convene's voting function also being very efficient.
Convene has excellent quality and price combination. It is easy to upload documents, set up, copy and move around agendas. Using Electronic resolutions also is very simple to set up and vote. There's also good support to resolve any issues, training, and set up quickly for new users.
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.
Our company has used Convene software for a couple of years for convening internal and external meetings and board meetings. We particularly like the features of screen synchronization among all meeting participants, marking private or public comments, and highlighting important information on the documents.
