A dashboard is a great way to work with data, visually present it, and use it to solve real problems. Among the best popular platforms, one can single out Boardpaq and BoardMaps Board Software. Below are their main characteristics.
BoardMaps Description
The BoardMaps platform is a software solution for automating the activities of collegial management bodies in large and medium-sized enterprises, government bodies, such as:
- boards of directors;
- committees;
- working groups.
The solution can be used by large business structures, representatives of medium and small businesses, public authorities. At the heart of the platform is the idea of “questioning”. The issue is the key entity around which the work of the collegial body is organized. The issue circulation is a technology that provides support for the entire life cycle of the issue: from its inception to decision-making and execution of instructions.
The system can be deployed in two versions:
- using a secure corporate server Windows 2008 Server;
- using the “cloud” service Windows Azure Cloud (in the latter case, the application works on the SaaS model).
Working with mobile devices is also possible in the absence of connection with the server due to the use of a local secure data storage based on SQLite 3.7.x DBMS. Data is transmitted in encrypted form over secure data channels using security certificates. All documents are encrypted using CryptoPro libraries both on the server and on the client device. Documents are automatically converted to PDF before being uploaded to the vault.
