MCPL says BoardDocs "Changed the Way We Do Business"

Amigos Member Discount Services is pleased with its recent addition of BoardDocs® Board Management Services from Emerald Data Solutions. BoardDocs offers cost-saving online governance technologies that maximize board effectiveness by eliminating paper while maintaining an easily searchable legal repository for all documents.

Mid-Continent Public Library, Independence, MO, uses BoardDocs to facilitate its board operations. Teresa Johnson, Secretary of the MCPL Board, said, "BoardDocs has completely changed the way we do business." Gone, she notes, are the days of printing of numerous agendas containing hundreds of sheets of paper. She says staff members no longer have to spend hours searching to find old agendas or looking things up. "It's all now at everyone’s fingertips, 24/7," Johnson said. MCPL Director and CEO Steven Potter, who serves as Vice Chair of the Amigos Board of Directors, recommended that Amigos offer the BoardDocs suite of e-governance tools to his fellow members.

Emerald Data Solutions Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Michael Hanahan said his organization is thrilled that Amigos selected BoardDocs. "Together, we will provide additional savings for Amigos members currently using BoardDocs, and extend state-of-the-art board management services to other libraries in the states they presently serve," Hanahan said.

Implementing eGovernance solutions provided by BoardDocs benefits organizations by:

• Saving up to tens of thousands of dollars in paper and distribution expenses annually
• Reducing time-of-staff in packet preparation by up to 75%
• Increasing accountability and transparency of governance processes
• Empowering constituents by enabling them to proactively access board information
• Reducing paper waste and your organization's carbon footprint

BoardDocs has two powerful, easy-to-use services built on cloud-based technology: BoardDocs Pro and BoardDocs LT. BoardDocs Pro includes the most comprehensive suite of eGovernance tools available, promising to dramatically improve the way organizations manage packets, access information and conduct meetings. BoardDocs LT is an ideal solution for many organizations that need a reliable agenda service, with all of the power of BoardDocs Pro but without all of the features that larger organizations often require.
