The Background:
A board meeting is a formal gathering of the board of directors of a company and any invited visitors, convened on occasion and at predetermined intervals to discuss key topics, review performance, and conduct the board’s business. The quorum, procedures, and roles for board meetings will be spelled out in the organization’s incorporation documents and subsequent contracts in compliance with regulatory and legal requirements. Board meetings will be presided over by the company chairperson and board committee meetings will be presided over by committee-level chairpersons. As a part of board meetings, minutes of meetings are legal documents that are published in accordance with the regulations controlling how that board does its business. Minutes are the finalized and approved record of a board meeting.
To effectively manage such board meeting processes and the responsibility of consistently cooperating on crucial board-level engagements, Orient Electric Limited required a complete board portal software solution that could efficiently deliver.
The Solution:
Orient Electric Limited conducted a thorough evaluation of the Dess electronic meetings software, assessing the pre-meeting, during-meeting, and post-meeting features of the solution.
With the end-to-end functionality of the paperless agenda solution, including agenda management, minutes management, attendance and reports, digital signature integration, circular resolutions, performance evaluation, compliance management, workflow management, and one-touch VC integration, among other features, Orient Electric Limited completed its detailed evaluation by selecting Dess as its solution provider for the board portal software.
The Dess Advantage:
Over a sustained and steady use of the solution for disparate board meetings and committee meetings, the Board of Directors and Management at Orient Electric have found the Dess Board Portal software to be very user-friendly. The agenda management solution has also provided a holistic experience to directors with its cross-platform facility compatibility with iOS, Windows, and Android devices.
Mr. Hitesh Jain, Company Secretary of Orient Electric Limited said, “We at Orient Electric implemented Dess Digital Meetings for our board and committee meetings. We are happy to share that it’s very user-friendly, and the entire process has become very smooth. It’s very easy to use for the directors as well. With the help of the board meetings platform, we are almost paperless as far as board meetings are concerned. The best part is it can be used for Android as well as iOS devices. I would be glad to recommend it to others.”
“We value our association with Orient Electric Limited as their board meetings solution partner. Our endeavor is to consistently leverage the power of digital to deliver the finest experience to our clients,” said Mr. Dilip Ganeriwal, Founder and Managing Director of Dess.
