The Benefits of a Software Board
Board is a powerful planning platform that combines many features in a single, user-friendly interface. The system can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid. It has full scalability with support for read and write of all data models. This allows users to develop and deploy powerful planning applications on a unified infrastructure with the lowest operating costs.
In contrast to a plan that lists your team’s strategic goals over months, weeks and quarters, a boards display the tasks your team is carrying out in the present. The work is displayed as cards on the board which can be moved around the columns that correspond to their status, e.g. from being done to doing. The cards are usually sorted by priority, with the most important ones at the top.
With the data federation feature that is intelligent, you can connect any planning software to Board, including Excel sheets. This allows you to create one view of data for multidimensional analysis as well as questions on ad hoc basis. You can also change the dimensions in real-time and instantly change the aggregate of data. Board’s flexibility is light years ahead of other solutions.
A modern board portal allows easy collaboration between team members regardless of where they’re situated and from what device they access the app. The process of preparing for meetings is fast and simple to do, with agenda items easily dropped and dragged into draft minutes of meetings. During the meeting the voting and approvals process can be conducted securely via the portal with a click. Agenda items can be converted into actionable task that can be distributed to the participants so that they can carry on their work between meetings.
