Syncrony offers BoardCloud Board Portal for better board meeting governance

Syncrony Digital Launches New BoardCloud for Effortless Board Meeting Management

Leading software development specialist Syncrony Digital has rolled out a brand-new version of its BoardCloud Board Meeting Management software, bringing a fresh wave of efficiency to board governance.

The latest iteration is a complete overhaul of the old board pack system, which has been in use since 2016. The new release focuses on smarter management of virtual board meetings, tighter security, and improved governance. Features like enhanced document distribution, revision tracking, and tools to boost meeting engagement are just the beginning.

For company secretaries, BoardCloud now comes with a drag-and-drop agenda builder that effortlessly integrates Microsoft Office documents, images, and PDFs. It can also automatically fill out an agenda template from a structured ZIP archive. Other new features include attendance recording, voting tools, and a more streamlined approach to document revision management.

For board and committee members, BoardCloud has introduced a fully integrated board pack reader, designed to make reading and annotating board packs a breeze — even for those who aren’t tech wizards.

"We’ve learned a lot from our earlier attempts to roll out iOS and Android apps for board members," says Dr Howard Rybko, CEO of Syncrony Digital. "Often, adoption gets delayed because IT departments have to fork out for new devices to load the app. It turns into a logistical nightmare with procurement, app loading, and device distribution."

Instead, the BoardCloud responsive reader now works on any device once the user has been properly authenticated. Board members can read board packs on the devices they already use, saving money and time. It's a win for IT departments, who are already dealing with the chaos of post-COVID remote work.

"In today’s work-from-home world, BoardCloud is the perfect tool to streamline board meeting governance," Rybko says. "Our system ensures compliance with attendance, vote tracking, and document revision management with minimal fuss."

Free 1-Month Trial

"We’re really proud of the new SaaS multi-tenant platform we’ve developed to support apps like BoardCloud," says Rybko. "Thanks to this system, we’re able to offer a fully functional, free one-month trial to any organisation with a board."

For larger organisations, BoardCloud is available as either a cloud-hosted or on-premise solution.
