BoardDocs Helps Districts Save Money and Time While Focusing on the Future of eGovernance

April 7, 2011 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO — Emerald Data Solutions™, Inc., developer of BoardDocs® paperless meeting solutions, announced today that it now works with more than 435 organizations nationwide to provide eAgenda services to governing bodies. The Company celebrates this milestone, which caps a period of phenomenal growth for BoardDocs since its national introduction in 2002, at the 71st NSBA Annual Conference, April 9–11, Booth #1001.

Following the 2010 NSBA Annual Conference, Emerald Data Solutions became the first eGovernance provider to offer solutions fully supported on the Apple® iPad™. The service advantage not only provided BoardDocs users an absolute best-in-class way to access BoardDocs cloud-based offerings, but also exemplified how the Company maintains category leadership by responding rapidly as new technologies become available.

In September, the all new BoardDocs LT was unveiled at 8th Annual BoardDocs eGovernance Workshop in Atlanta. The Company incorporated the look and feel of the revolutionary BoardDocs Pro system into BoardDocs LT, the “lighter” service perfect for smaller organizations looking to explore the benefits of a powerful, yet very affordable paperless solution. In addition to the fresh interface, new features, such as Draft Meetings and Administrative Content, not only improve the way board meetings are managed, but also provide an overall richer user experience for all stakeholders.

This winter, Emerald Data Solutions released “Social Sharing”, a new service enhancement that further increases transparency by providing the ability to share any Public item in BoardDocs via Facebook, Twitter and eMail. The Company also recently extended the popular XML capabilities to the entry level BoardDocs LT solution. With XML capabilities, organizations can dynamically drive BoardDocs Data into their Web site. When data changes in BoardDocs, the organization’s site is automatically updated, saving Web master time and improving overall board efficiencies and communications.

Emerald Data offers two powerful and easy-to-use eGovernance solutions: BoardDocs Pro and the all new BoardDocs LT. Both products are virtually turn-key and fully supported on most mobile devices. Plus, only BoardDocs includes dedicated project management, on-site training and US-based, 7 x 24 technical support with every subscription.
