GlobalBoards

GlobalBoards is a secure board and committee portal for organizations that need meeting work and formal governance records in one place. It is best suited to directors, corporate secretaries, and general counsel coordinating multiple entities or jurisdictions. Its strongest case is the connection between meeting administration and EnGlobe’s lifecycle and compliance automation, while custom pricing makes it a less predictable choice for smaller teams.

Overview

GlobalBoards covers the meeting cycle from board-pack preparation through agendas, participation, minutes, resolutions, and retained governance records. It supports both virtual and in-person meetings, automated reminders and tasks, and date-stamped current data. A group-wide, multi-entity view and subsidiary governance support make it more relevant to corporate groups than to a single-board operation.

The portal can run as a standalone board meeting management system. Organizations adopting Corporatek’s EnGlobe can connect meeting work to broader governance processes: lifecycle events can enter agendas, trigger appointment or resignation resolutions, and lead to required regulatory filings. That makes the integrated deployment more compelling for teams with recurring obligations across jurisdictions, while standalone buyers can avoid taking on the wider system.

Key features

Meeting materials and participation

Board packs, agendas, data rooms, document annotations, secure surveys, and voting are handled in the same environment. Automated minutes and resolutions help link decisions to the formal record instead of leaving follow-up in separate tools. This breadth suits structured board and committee work; organizations wanting only document sharing or basic scheduling may find the governance emphasis unnecessary.

Governance and compliance workflows

EnGlobe integration can automatically prepare board materials and create meeting spaces, agendas, surveys, and data rooms. It can also detect corporate lifecycle changes, add relevant items to agendas, build resignation or appointment resolutions, and generate regulatory filings. EnGlobe’s IntelliX compliance engine determines whether quorum is met using jurisdiction-specific rules. These functions are particularly valuable where entity changes, approvals, and filing duties must remain connected; they are less meaningful for teams that do not need lifecycle automation.

Access, collaboration, and records

External directors can receive segregated access to board information under Corporate Secretary control. Documents can be downloaded to an iPad for offline use, with notes and updates stored locally and synchronized when connectivity returns. AltiSaaS hosting provides stated availability exceeding 99.9%, encryption in transit and at rest, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards, granular role-based permissions, multi-factor authentication, and comprehensive audit logging. The configurable design also supports meetings of other private or public bodies that need secure mobile collaboration.

Pricing

GlobalBoards uses paid, custom pricing, so it is a procurement-led product rather than a self-serve subscription with a published entry tier. Request a quote if you need its multi-entity governance, controlled external-director access, or EnGlobe automation; teams comparing fixed monthly budgets will have less cost certainty before engaging Corporatek. There is no published free plan or trial term to lower the commitment for evaluation.

Platforms

GlobalBoards is offered on the web and through mobile access for iPhone and iPad. The app requires iOS 17.1 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 17.1 or later on iPad, which can exclude older devices. Offline document use is specifically supported on iPad, with synchronization when connectivity returns.

Who it's for

GlobalBoards is aimed at directors, corporate secretaries, and general counsel handling companies worldwide. It fits corporate groups managing subsidiaries, boards with external directors, and organizations that need a durable audit trail for agendas, votes, minutes, and resolutions. Its configurable meeting model can also serve other private or public bodies. A small organization with one uncomplicated board and no filing or quorum workflow may be better served by a simpler, transparently priced portal.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Combines board packs, agendas, annotations, surveys, voting, minutes, and resolutions in one governance-focused workspace.
• Pros: EnGlobe can connect lifecycle changes to agendas, resolutions, regulatory filings, and jurisdiction-specific quorum checks.
• Pros: Multi-entity visibility and controlled access for external directors support complex corporate structures.
• Pros: iPad offline access, synchronization, role-based controls, multifactor authentication, audit logging, and stated 99.9%-plus hosted availability support mobile and controlled operations.
• Cons: Custom pricing provides no published cost benchmark, free tier, or trial for budget-conscious buyers.
• Cons: The iOS 17.1 and iPadOS 17.1 minimums may require device upgrades.
• Cons: The most specialized compliance and lifecycle automation depends on EnGlobe, so a standalone deployment does not deliver the full workflow.

Verdict

Choose GlobalBoards if your organization needs secure board administration tied to multi-entity governance, external-director controls, and optional EnGlobe automation for lifecycle, quorum, and filing work. Its main reason to look elsewhere is the combination of custom pricing and an iOS 17.1-or-later requirement, especially when a smaller board needs only basic meeting materials or a clearly priced service.
