It should also provide tools to help make meetings more efficient and productive with real-time note-taking and action item tracking. In addition, it should be affordable and easy to use on any board.

The tool should enable members to quickly access the most current versions of all documents such as board books and minutes. This will ensure that every board member has the current information and are able to make informed decisions both during the meeting as well as outside of it. Board members also need the ability to ask questions and get answers in real-time. This will reduce time spent in meetings and improve the efficiency of decision-making. This will also improve the degree of collaboration among directors and improve transparency throughout the organization.
