BoardDocs Paves Way for eGovernance Future

May 20, 2012 - PRLog -- PORTLAND — Emerald Data Solutions™, Inc., developer of BoardDocs® paperless meeting solutions, is now providing eAgenda services to 600 governing bodies worldwide. The Company celebrates this milestone, which marks a period of record-breaking growth for BoardDocs since its national introduction in 2002, at the 66th IIMC Annual Conference, May 20-22, Booth #311-313.

Last year, the Company set a new industry standard with the ability to associate meeting video with BoardDocs agendas, at no charge to its subscribers. The video linking and tagging feature simplifies the task of recording, publishing and storing video for private or public meetings. The service enhancement allows BoardDocs Pro and LT users to easily share recorded meetings via services such as YouTube.

Emerald Data Solutions also released the much-anticipated Goal Tracking functionality, providing BoardDocs Pro subscribers with the ability to easily track and manage strategic goals online, and share that progress with stakeholders.

The Company recently announced an additional hosting site in Sterling, VA. The new east coast collocation facility expanded on Emerald Data Solutions’ existing operations provided through Qwest®/CenturyLink™. The addition cemented BoardDocs as the nation’s fastest growing, most dependable eGovernance service.

Last August, Inc. Magazine named the Company one of the fastest growing private businesses in the nation on its 29th Annual Inc. 500/5000 List. The list represents a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America's forward-thinking entrepreneurs.

With 15,000 registered users, BoardDocs has been used successfully to manage more than 60,000 meetings to date. Not only has the Company saved over 200 million sheets of paper, its transparent solutions replace the costly method of compiling, copying and distributing meeting documents. In total, Emerald Data Solutions estimates their services save taxpayers a staggering $8,000,000 each year.

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