BoardPAC

BoardPAC is a governance platform for boards and executive members who need structured meeting workflows and controlled participation. It is strongest for organizations that value deployment choice and board-specific access controls; custom pricing makes it a sales-led purchase.

Overview

The platform supports board work from scheduling and planning through communication and meeting execution, with decision and action-item tracking to carry responsibilities beyond the meeting. Paperless meeting workflows make it a focused alternative to general-purpose meeting software, rather than a broad collaboration suite.

BoardPAC serves board members and company secretaries, and the company says it has more than 50,000 users across over 40 countries. Cloud deployment suits organizations that prefer hosted software, while on-premise or self-hosted deployment gives organizations another option for placing the service within their own environment.

Key features

Meeting workflows: Scheduling, monitoring, coordination, planning, communication, and execution cover the work around a board meeting as well as the session itself. Decision and action-item tracking support follow-through, which matters when governance responsibilities must remain visible after directors leave the room.

Paperless meetings: BoardPAC supports paperless board meetings, reducing reliance on printed materials for organizations prepared to run their board process digitally.

Qme AI: Real-time data insights and scenario analysis are intended to help board members evaluate decisions with more context.

BoardPAC AI: AI meeting minutes are generated from uploaded transcripts in under five seconds, and the feature is compatible with Zoom and Microsoft Teams. AI Summaries condenses lengthy papers and documents into key points and actionable insights. Reg GPT extracts compliance and regulatory information and answers questions for compliance assurance. These tools broaden the platform beyond meeting administration, though the minutes workflow depends on an uploaded transcript.

Access and security: Administrators can set role-based permissions for users and meetings, including restrictions on actions during live meetings. Multi-factor authentication, AES 256-bit encryption, remote data wipe, and single sign-on add layers of security controls. The homepage also states that BoardPAC has ISO 27001 and SOC Type 2 certifications.

Video conferencing: Board members can join confidential meetings from desktop, mobile, or tablet using their preferred video conferencing app. Zoom and Microsoft Teams are named as compatible services for AI meeting minutes, but the broader video-meeting workflow does not identify specific apps.

Support: The homepage advertises 24/7 support, a useful commitment for organizations running board processes across schedules and locations.

Pricing

BoardPAC is paid, with custom pricing available by inquiry. Prospective customers can ask about pricing and plans and request a demo; there is no published entry price to compare against a budget before contacting sales.

The BoardPAC subscription is based on annual periods and the number of end users unless an Order Form says otherwise. Fees are invoiced in the currency specified on the applicable invoice. That annual, user-based structure makes the likely cost depend on board size and contract terms, so organizations should establish both before committing.

Platforms

BoardPAC is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, and supports self-hosted deployment. Cloud and on-premise deployment options provide a further choice for organizations with different infrastructure requirements.

Who it's for

BoardPAC is aimed at boards, executive members, and company secretaries who need a dedicated process for preparing, conducting, and following up on governance meetings. It is a particularly strong fit when role-based meeting permissions or on-premise/self-hosted deployment are important. Organizations seeking a simple, low-cost tool with a price they can assess without a sales conversation should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros: Board workflows span preparation through follow-up, with decision and action tracking; administrators can restrict live-meeting actions by role; cloud and on-premise/self-hosted deployment support different infrastructure needs; AI features cover minutes, document summaries, and regulatory questions.

Cons: Pricing requires an inquiry, and annual user-based fees make total cost dependent on board size and contract terms; specific video-conferencing integrations are not identified for the general meeting workflow; generating AI minutes requires an uploaded transcript.

Alternatives

Board Management Software, Board Portal Software, and Meeting Management Software are useful categories for comparing products by broader board, portal, and meeting needs.

Verdict

Choose BoardPAC if your board needs governance-focused meeting workflows, decision follow-up, and controlled access, particularly when self-hosted or on-premise deployment matters. Its combination of security controls and AI tools is persuasive for formal board processes. Look elsewhere if you need upfront pricing or a clearly named video-conferencing integration for the meeting workflow.
