Upgrade Your Boardroom: How BoardCloud 8.0 Eliminates Admin Paperwork

Board administration has never been simple. Between regulatory obligations, governance best practices, and the relentless pace of strategic decision-making, the last thing your company secretary needs is paperwork slowing things down.

BoardCloud 8.0 is built to change that. This release tackles the most time-consuming parts of board administration head-on — with intelligent automation, a redesigned resolutions workflow, and a more powerful forms module.

Here's what's new.

Auto Minutes — Context-Aware Meeting Records

Most AI transcription tools give you a wall of text. Auto Minutes gives you a structured, board-ready draft.

Rather than summarising in isolation, it brings together your pre-set agenda, live transcript, speaker identities, board titles, and formal outcomes such as votes, resolutions, and action items, into a single cohesive document. All you need to do is invite Gladis, our governance-aware meeting bot, into your session. Within moments of the meeting ending, your draft minutes are ready for review, editing, and circulation.

eResolutions — One Place, Start to Finish

Fragmented email threads and delayed signatures are a governance risk most boards have quietly accepted. With BoardCloud 8.0, they don't have to.

The redesigned Resolutions page handles the entire lifecycle of a written resolution in one place. Upload your document, select your signatories, and configure your signing order, deadlines, and reference numbers. Directors sign securely via email link with no login required. Administrators see live status updates throughout, and once complete, the signed document and a full audit report are automatically archived.

Forms Module — Standalone, Flexible, and Export-Ready

Compliance data collection shouldn't be tied to a meeting calendar. The updated Forms module lets company secretaries issue standalone forms at any time. The flexibility of our form tools handles any forms you can throw at it; whether that's an annual conflicts of interest declaration, a board skills matrix, or a director evaluation.

Responses can be exported instantly to spreadsheet, CSV, or PDF format, making it straightforward to compile board packs and maintain compliance files without manual data wrangling.
