Current Process for Producing and Distributing Board Packages • Data and Reports are collected from the various departments all generated from different systems • Data is then organized according to the board agenda to create a board package • Copies are made for each Board member • Each set of copies is then put in a binder • Prepare Mailing envelops for delivery • Mail each board package to each Director thru the US Postal Service • Directors meet at their scheduled meeting
Current Challenges • Document Management • Communication • Security • Inefficient • Time Consuming • Costly
Board Portal Proposed Solution
Why Make the Move to a Board Portal • Reduce paper Usage • Increase accessibility • Streamline the Process • Convenience • Easier to have remote meetings • Security • Enhanced communication between board members • Save Money
Risk Analysis • Where will the data be stored? • Will the vendor be sub-contracting? • Will data be encrypted? • Will data be backed up? • If yes, how often? • How is access controlled? • Vulnerability Scans? • What Logs are kept? • What needs to be in the service agreement?
Implementation Risks • Cost • Lack of acceptance • Regulatory • Failure
Implementation Process • Identify Implementation Team members and define their roles • Research and develop a list of potential vendors • Perform Due Diligence on selected vendors by sending out a Request For Proposal (RFP) • Review RFPs • Schedule Demo’s of each vendors product • Select Product • Define Implementation Plan • Build portal • Train Board Members • Provide follow up support
Request for Proposal (RFP) • Background of Company • Company Financials • SAS 70s Review • Description of Service • Answers to risk analysis • Security (Multi Factor Authentication) • Length of available history • iPadCompatiable • Committee Capable • Usability • Training • Customer Support/Service • Cost
