eBOARDsolutions introduces eBOARD 2.0
Atlanta, GA - March 30, 2009 - eBOARDsolutions releases eBOARD 2.0, an online service for school districts for managing meetings, strategic plans, and policies. The primary new features of eBOARD 2.0 include:
- New Strategic Plan Module
- More Efficient User Management
- RSS feeds of meeting agendas, minutes and news
- More efficient workflows for meeting agenda preparation and administration
New Strategic Plan Module
The Strategic Plan Module takes continuous improvement to a new level by offering a one-of-a-kind solution for monitoring, tracking, managing and reporting on strategic plans. With eBOARD’s Strategic Plan Module, organizations can effectively communicate plans to all stakeholders and allow employees to focus on their areas of responsibility while understanding how their work fits into the overall plan. The module includes a performance measurement component, ability to create multiple plans for one organization, advanced search functions, and a strategic dashboard that creates a graphical representation of performance measurements. The Strategic Plan Module joins other eBOARD modules including the Meetings Module, Policy Module, Documents Module and Communications Module. The total solution creates a governance system that is aligned, searchable and web-based.
More Efficient User Management
As eBOARD’s base of users with each district is expanding due to management of multiple types of meetings and strategic plans, the EBS team has now updated the User Administration component of eBOARD to allow for more efficient user management for users such board members, administrators and staff across the district. It is now easier to manage who has access to the various components for viewing and editing privileges.
RSS feeds of meeting agendas, minutes and news
This new feature allows board members, staff and the public to subscribe to RSS feeds of meeting agendas and news stories created in eBOARD. Subscribing to RSS feeds provides a more efficient method to keep all stakeholders updated with the latest information from the district and provide for greater transparency.
More efficient workflow for meeting agenda preparation
Staff and administrators responsible for the development of meeting agendas (board meetings or any other types of meetings) can more easily assign meeting agenda items to a specific person to provide further details such a “Summary,” “Recommendations,” “Alternatives,” Details,” “Goals Addressed” and “Supporting Documents.” This new workflow option will save districts time in the development of meeting agendas as well as paper costs in delivery agendas to participants.
