Board Director vs Board Intelligence Portal

Board Director is board portal software for board members, management, and administrators preparing meetings and sharing information. Users can schedule board and committee meetings, build agendas and board books, take minutes, send calendar invitations, and track RSVPs and attendance. Meetings can sync with Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, while Zoom supports virtual meetings. A central repository stores board materials, with permissions set by folder or file. PDF annotations include highlights, underlines, strikethroughs, text, notes, drawings, and attached images. Members can take part in public, committee, and private one-to-one discussions, as well as voting, polls, and approvals. The service offers electronic signatures and unlimited committee workspaces; all plans include unlimited documents, meetings, signatures, and committees. Administrators can set access by group or person, including controls over viewing, downloading, publishing, and printing. Board Director runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Pricing is on request and based on user seats, business phase, and organizational complexity. A free 21-day trial is offered.

Board Intelligence Portal is a paid workspace for boards and governance teams to view, comment on and collaborate on documents in real time. It runs through a browser and apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone and iPad. Governance teams can manage submissions, combine files into board packs, issue paper briefs and republish amended packs while retaining directors’ annotations. Directors can add private or shared comments, search packs offline, approve documents with e-signatures and compare papers beside a virtual meeting app. Board packs can link directly to Zoom or Teams meetings. The portal supports forward agenda planning, calendar-linked scheduling, biometric login or single sign-on and granular permissions. It covers board, committee and executive sessions, including hybrid, virtual and in-person formats. The maker says servers are UK-hosted, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, and approved for government data. BI24 support is listed 24/7/365. Pricing is tailored and available on request.
