Convene is a simple, secure, and intelligent board management software that empowers board directors, senior executives, administrators, and secretaries in various organizations worldwide. It facilitates improved meeting experience, work efficiency and productivity, communication and collaboration, and governance process.
Convene delivers the tools and features you need to conduct virtual meetings from anywhere at any time and gain better visibility and control before, during, and after the meetings. Directors and executives can access, review, and annotate meeting packs or documents online and offline using any device. Convene improves communication, collaboration, and engagement during virtual meetings through video conferencing, page synchronization, virtual laser pointer, instant voting, and resolutions.
Users can also utilize post-meeting capabilities such as the ability to quickly look for previous meeting documents, access and review meeting summaries, and monitor and update action items. The board management software enables administrators and secretaries to schedule meetings, prepare and send meeting packs to participants, and notify them about important reminders, updates, and changes. They can also monitor participants’ attendance, document meetings in real-time, and archive files securely.
Show MoreBetter Governance Process
Convene allows board directors and C-level executives to conduct meetings and communicate and collaborate remotely in real-time from a centralized, user-friendly, and secure platform. This way, they’ll be able to make the right decisions and improve corporate governance. They can use the meeting and presentation tools and features integrated into the software to create efficient and engaging discussions.
For instance, they can launch their remote virtual meetings through video conference calls. While having a meeting, they can also access, review, digitally sign, and share meeting documents and files with other directors or executives. Convene automatically synchronizes pages, documents, and files across the devices used by participants in the meeting. This helps you ensure that all participants stay on the same page. You can also use the laser pointer feature to draw their attention to specific portions of the discussion or presentation. Additionally, you can set up virtual review rooms to brainstorm and vote on resolutions.
Increased Admin/Secretary Efficiency & Productivity
The board management software can also be utilized by administrators and secretaries to reduce the time and effort they spend in managing meetings. Thus, they’ll improve their efficiency and productivity at work, enabling them to focus more on valuable projects or activities. Convene allows them to quickly and seamlessly make the necessary preparations before meetings. They can schedule regular or special meetings, invite participants to join the meetings, and send them instant reminders and notifications.
Convene, moreover, permits them to manage meeting documents without the need to create and store piles of papers. They can create, update, and monitor meeting packs on a drag-and-drop interface. These meeting packs contain all important information and documents needed in the meetings, including agenda, meeting minutes and notes, action items, and files. Administrators and secretaries can also perform specific actions while meetings are ongoing. These include the ability to check participants’ attendance, record meeting minutes and notes, and handle configurations for video conferencing
Enterprise-Class Security
Convene is equipped with enterprise-grade and comprehensive security mechanisms that ensure the safety and privacy of your board meetings, participants/users, documents, files, and data. It provides protection at the infrastructure, server, device, application, document, data, and user level. Convene implements biometric authentication. Thus, users can access the software from their mobile device through touch ID verification, facial recognition, or fingerprint scanning instead of manually entering their login credentials.
You can also remotely and automatically erase downloaded and stored files and data from your device when it is misplaced, lost, or stolen. You’ll gain complete ownership of the board management software as well. Convene enables you to create, merge, and delete user accounts, monitor user logins and activities on the software, set up your own password policies and expirations, and define what users can access and do in live meetings. Moreover, the software supports authenticated e-signatures, document watermarks, server hardening, intrusion detection and prevention, and cloud data segregation and backup.
Show More1. Saves a lot of time and money
Anson, corporate secretary of a Chinese company, prepares board packs that are at least 200 pages long and even exceeds 400 pages if an annual report is included for approval. Before using Convene, it normally took him and his team more than three hours just to print these board packs the night before the board meeting. Back then, they would have to choose the pages to be printed in color to save on printing costs. They even had to stay late in the office to make sure they print the materials in time for the board meeting the day after. Now, board pack preparation time is significantly reduced to just a few minutes with no printing costs.
2. It’s a feature-rich product
Danielle, a manager of a housing company, claims that Convene has all the features they want. Directors used to come to meetings with notepads and pens, but now they can make notes on actual paper within the app. When they get to that part of the meeting, the notes are there waiting for them.
They like using the Review Room feature a lot, as well. They upload news articles, presentations, and weekly/monthly updates to the Review Room so everyone can then read them at their convenience. It’s much better than clogging up people’s inboxes , especially because the files can be quite big.
3. Easy to pick up on both the admin and user sides
Elaine, a member of a UK company, explains that the actual implementation of Convene was very smooth. They had support right at the beginning remotely, but the actual implementation was very easy. They always felt like they had support whenever they needed it.
Convene was easy to pick up on both the admin and user sides, even before any training. Their users never needed any training after either. They told them to see how far they got on their own and so far they’ve not had any problems with it.
The users like that when the help button is pressed, it highlights all the menus at the top, which is very intuitive. Directors also liked the fact that with Convene, the pages turn like a book. On the other products tested, the pages went down the screen like a PDF, which was not as good.
