NovusAGENDA Versus PDF

Organizations around the country have tried creating PDF copies of their agenda and minutes in an effort to save money. While this reduces costs a tiny bit the bulk of the cost savings is left on the table and waste continues. This is not maximizing the opportunity with true paperless meetings.

Even more important is the fact that most PDF files are not ADA compliant! This could put you at risk of noncompliance on the web site

PDF copies fall short in many ways:

  • They fail to achieve any savings in the costly item creation and review process
  • They fail to save time in the clerk's office
  • They do not reduce public records request due to poor search ability
  • Copies and more copies are still printed during review
  • The public cannot effectively search multiple PDFs
  • Transparency is not achieved using PDFs on the web
  • Board members have no research option
  • Board members and staff cannot search multiple PDFs
  • May not be ADA compliant

The meeting process is complex in most organizations and the hidden costs, while quite real, often go unchecked. Contact us today to learn more about how you can add real savings to your team using true meeting automation.
