Boardspace

What was the business problem?

We provide a solution to help Boards of Directors manage their meetings, critical documents and tasks. Our software solution offloads the administrative burden and contributes to more productive Board meetings, as members have ready access to the information they need through an intuitive software interface. As we are still in development mode, we need a cloud infrastructure that allows us to incorporate ongoing beta client feedback into our design.

How does your product solve this problem?

There are commercial cloud offerings available, but as a startup we keep a sharp eye on costs and were looking for the most costeffective option. We also needed to ensure that our data stays in Canada.

What was the result?

We have moved forward with beta clients including one from Scotland and several from Canada. Our plan is to launch BoardSpace internationally with a soft launch at the end of 2016 and we plan a full commercial launch in early 2017.
