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.

Having Convene means that members of the board have access to the papers far sooner, allowing them more time to read and digest the issues for consideration. This has strengthened understanding and enhanced debate at our board meetings. Although not everyone was keen on the change at first, the benefits …

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 …

“Our directors are busy people and we only needed to give them a simple tutorial and offer some training. Once we had the software installed, they didn’t even need the training, because Convene was so intuitive.”

“Most of them were from a secretarial point of view in a sense that before a meeting you can plan and make preparations and in the post-meeting you can distribute papers. It was not like Convene that during a meeting everybody can go to the same presentation. That was not …

“Convene is extremely easy to use for both the administrator and users. Company Secretary and Governance Department, Heads of Department, and Board of Directors are using Convene actively in PUNB especially during MCO where we have to work remotely. No matter how traditional or tech-savvy our members might be, they …

“We then invited three providers in for demonstrations of their board solution. Among them, Convene was already a strong contender as it had sparked our interest when we first saw it exhibited at the AUA conference. From the demonstration alone, we found Convene to be very user friendly and designed …

"The meeting schedule before Convene was a very time-consuming process. So we were looking at ways of cutting down the administrative workload and keep everything in one place. We had an external SharePoint but it was quite fiddly for the Board members to log in as they had to locate …

“Before Convene, we had to give some directors their board papers on the day. They didn’t have time to write down questions or consider the issues we needed advice on. Now, we can get the board papers out in advance, with enough time for everyone to read them. The meetings …

“Our board members now use iPads, and we use the Convene system for our executive team minutes, our leadership team minutes, and all areas where we are required to demonstrate an audit trail. With Convene, everything is on the app.”

“This is generally the last thing that people want to put on cloud. When we implemented Convene, the Director of Business Development of the Convene team was involved in a lot of discussions with our IT division to ensure that they were 100% comfortable with how it was going to …

“Convene was the initial solution we looked at, and it seemed to offer the complete range of benefits we were looking for. Others were considered, but Convene was at the top of the list. Cost is always a consideration, however, we felt that Convene understood Bison Bank’s background and ways …

“Convene is about convenience. It enables the board members to access meeting papers and make decisions effectively and conveniently.”

“I would like to give full marks to the product. Convene is a very user-friendly platform. Even a person with basic knowledge of a computer can operate it optimally. Certainly, it’s a 10 out of 10.”

“The introduction of Convene has transformed the way we deliver our board and senior management meetings and is a beneficial aid to control the meeting from start to finish. It has improved efficiency by removing the need to print and post papers, saving on both time and cost. If additional …
