Veevra Meetings is governance software for councils and committees managing agendas, votes, minutes and follow-up. It schedules recurring meetings, sends automated invitations, syncs calendars and provides monthly, weekly, daily and timeline views. Agenda items can contain discussions, attachments, recommendations, priorities and time allocations. A live meeting room supports chat, annotations and real-time voting, with majority, unanimous or weighted rules and an audit trail. Customizable templates generate minutes that capture attendance, decisions and action items and can export them as PDF. Recommendations and tasks can be assigned owners and due dates, with progress tracked through implementation. The product works without AI; customer-controlled deployments may add separately deployed AICP, while Veevra-hosted SaaS may add a separate AICP Enterprise subscription. Deployment options include on-premises, air-gapped, public or private cloud, hosted SaaS and hybrid. Veevra says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with SSO, MFA and an audit ledger. Pricing is on request.
