Company Secretary Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Large NHS Trust highly recommends" July 4, 2022 5.0 “The Board Intelligence application has proved an extremely efficient and practical tool for the management of our board level and other committee meeting’s governance. Providing an easy to use platform for the Company Secretariat and other administrators across our large NHS trust. The application includes ease of collation, management and sharing through a secure electronic link/app providing assurance when distributing large, complex and sometimes highly sensitive papers. The standard templates, drag and drop function and adaptability are valuable facets of the application at the admin level, where as the ease of use and annotation function is widely appreciated by users which supports effective meeting outcomes. The 24/7 technical support is highly responsive and effective and the customer service is friendly, informative and engaging. As one of the largest NHS trusts geographically we would highly recommend Board Intelligence as an aid to any corporate function”.

Review Source Response from Board Intelligence September 22, 2022 Hi Laura, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, we really appreciate it. I'm delighted to hear such lovely words about the product and our team. Over 60% of our business comes from referrals so it's really important to us to have advocates such as yourself. Thank you. Best wishes, Suzi Executive Director, Board Intelligence SB Simon B. Deputy Company Secretary Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Board & Board Committee document portal." July 8, 2022 5.0 This is a secure and reliable means for sharing sensitive information with users who do not have accounts within our IT domain and therefore can access our cloud drives, etc. Pros Very easy to use and coordinates well with our IT environment. Good support to get it set up and whitelisted, etc - very cooperative and able to understand and work with the IT team. Day to day support is good but not really needed - it just consistently works well in the background. Support is usually prompt to reply and efficient to solve issues. Cons Main things which need development are item by item permissions, and in-app agreement to documents/resolutions. But these are not critical. Review Source Response from Board Intelligence September 22, 2022 Hi Simon, Thank you so much for the review - we really appreciate it. We're always looking for client ideas and I'm pleased to share that our team are working on 'paper by paper' permissions which will be launched with clients soon. Regarding your other suggestion, our platform already enables 'Simple Electronic Signatures' through the App's annotation tools, and we'll be releasing enhancements which allows for Advanced Electronic Signatures in the future. I've shared your feedback with our Product Team and Account Manager, who will be able to share more information on these with you. In the meantime, thank you again for your support, Best wishes, Suzi Beese Executive Director, Board Intelligence LB Lauren B.

Pros Easy to navigate, straight forward sign in for clients, excellent security features. Cons The 'bookshelf' layout - felt like a CD-rom add on from the 90s. Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) Client request - moving from WTW's dated OnePlace system to new governance platform. Review Source JP Jennifer P. Board Support Officer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effective and easy to use" July 14, 2022 4.0 The BI team are constantly seeking to evolve the product. Our Account Manager and helpdesk staff are very helpful and quick to respond. Pros Intuitive system to use and administer. Responsive 24 hour helpdesk staff. Proactive in adding value via tutorials, networking events and seminars. Cons Does not upload directly from Sharepoint sites except via File Explorer. There have been some spooling /outages when building packs, and times when directors have needed to reload the app to get access. Review Source Response from Board Intelligence September 22, 2022 Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much for your review and we're delighted you're enjoying our programme of client tutorials and events. We're sorry you've experienced some problems with our pack builder and app - improving the performance and stability of our platform has been a priority for the team over the last few months, so I hope you've had a smoother experience.

Best wishes, Suzi Beese Executive Director, Board Intelligence DP Diane P. Deputy Company Secretary Maritime Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Board Intelligence " July 5, 2022 5.0 Excellent experience and would recommend the software. We use it daily and never have any complaints from users/the Board. Pros It is easy to upload documents, move them around and publish packs. Packs can also easily be replicated and moved to other shelves. The system is very reliable and the support team are really helpful and resolve issues quickly (in the very rare cases there are any issues). Cons The agenda is not flexible and we cannot customise to add our own fields so we have to produce our own separate agenda. Review Source Response from Board Intelligence September 22, 2022 Hi Diane, Thank you so much for your review - we're so pleased you're finding the system easy to use and reliable. We're always keen to capture ideas from clients, so we've shared your comment about more flexible agendas with our Product Team and also your Account Manager, who will be able to explore this with you further.

Clerk to the Corporation Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product, Easy to Use - First Class Customer Support" March 7, 2017 5.0 Be using Board Intelligence software (Board IQ / Read) for about 15 months and it has been great. Easy to set up, great functionality and if you do get a problem, support is on hand 24/7 to help you solve the problem. Our Governors have taken to it really easily, and this has changed the way our governance model works. We have since rolled it out to other areas of the business including the Senior Leadership Team with huge success, all of which has resulted in pay and non pay savings whilst having all the key information at your fingertips in a secure environment. Have recommended it to colleagues and will continue to do so. Pros Easy to use. Customer Service. Great functionality. Review Source LF Lesley F. PA Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A PA's Prospective " March 3, 2017 5.0 I cannot rate this software high enough. It was easy to learn and is user friendly, it has made my life so much easier, no longer reams of papers to collate and bind. It is particularly useful that you can update papers if there are late changes and it is so easy to do so. Suffice to say that we have been extremely impressed with both the system and service that we have received from Board IQ. I am the main administrator and find it so easy to use as do our 18 Governors who receive regular papers from me via the portal. I really can't say anything detrimental about the system. I love the library effect and all of our Governors find it so easy to find what they are looking for. Pros The time it has saved me Cons Not sure there is anything Review Source Response from Board Intelligence March 3, 2017 Thank you Lesley! PB Paulo B. Project Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great user-friendly application" July 13, 2022 5.0 Pros Board Intelligence is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Its collaboration tools are extremely useful. Cons Drag -and-drop functions would facilitate migration of files across the different shelves/bookcases. Review Source Response from Board Intelligence September 22, 2022 Hi Paulo, Thank you for taking the time to review Board Intelligence, we really appreciate it. We're delighted that you and your colleagues are enjoying the collaboration tools. We're always keen to capture ideas from clients, so we've shared your comment about being able to 'drag and drop' packs across different shelves/bookcases with our Product Team and your Account Manager, who will be able to explore this further with you. Thank you again and best wishes, Suzi Beese Exec Director, Board Intelligence FS Fay S. PA to Chief Executive Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review of Board Intelligence" July 26, 2022 5.0 The overall experience has been really good. Very impressed with the product and what it can do (although I only use a small part of it at the moment). I am especially impressed with the customer service and response times with any queries or questions - always super helpful. That makes such a difference when using a product not familiar with or just not used for a while. Pros I like the software but a little too early for me to say why as it is all very new to me at the moment. Cons Same as above, not really so familiar with it that I can give a fair comment at this stage. Reason for choosing Board Intelligence Our London office was already using Board Intelligence so we then just asked to use it in the Bristol office. Review Source Response from Board Intelligence September 22, 2022 Hi Fay, Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate you taking the time to do it. As you get more familiar with Board Intelligence, please feel free to share any thoughts or ideas for how the platform can better meet your needs - we'd love to hear your ideas! Many thanks again and best wishes, Suzi Beese Executive Director, Board Intelligence CE Claire E. Corporate Business Officer Used the software for: ### "Coastal West Sussex CCG" March 8, 2017 5.0 Our overall experience has been very good, with only a few issues. The issues were addressed fairly quickly. Pros Its easy to use Cons You are unable to move things easily around the shelves..... the packs are only in published order. Review Source Response from Board Intelligence August 16, 2017 Thank you very much for your feedback Claire, we¿ve actually updated the platform and you can move your packs around the shelves as you see fit. Let us know if you have any further suggestions! SG Stella G.
