What it is
GlobalBoards is a secure portal for board and committee meetings on iOS and the web. It brings board packs, agendas, data rooms, document annotations, surveys, voting, minutes, and resolutions into a meeting workspace. Meetings can be virtual or in person, with automated reminders, tasks, and date-stamped current data. The system supports group-wide oversight across multiple entities, including subsidiary governance, and corporate secretaries can control segregated access for external directors. Used with Corporatek’s EnGlobe, GlobalBoards can prepare meeting spaces and materials, add corporate lifecycle changes to agendas, generate related resolutions and regulatory filings, and assess quorum under jurisdiction-specific rules. Documents can be downloaded to an iPad for offline use, with notes and updates stored locally and synchronized when connectivity returns. It can also operate as a standalone portal, and its configurable design supports meetings beyond corporate boards and committees. Corporatek’s hosted AltiSaaS option states availability exceeding 99.9%, encryption in transit and at rest, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards, role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and audit logging. Pricing is available on request.

The review
GlobalBoards is a board and committee portal for organizations that need secure meeting materials and formal governance workflows across multiple entities. It suits directors, corporate secretaries, and general counsel who coordinate meetings across jurisdictions. Its main advantage is the option to connect meeting preparation, lifecycle actions, and quorum checks through Corporatek’s EnGlobe system.
Overview
GlobalBoards brings board packs, agendas, data rooms, document annotations, surveys, voting, minutes, and resolutions into one portal. It supports virtual and in-person meetings, reminders, tasks, and date-stamped current data, with a group-wide view for organizations overseeing subsidiaries. That breadth makes it a strong fit for formal governance work; teams looking only for a place to share documents may not need its wider workflow.
The portal can be used on its own. EnGlobe integration adds a more connected process: lifecycle changes can flow into agendas, prompt appointment or resignation resolutions, and generate regulatory filings. The integration also checks quorum against jurisdiction-specific rules through EnGlobe’s IntelliX compliance engine. These capabilities matter most to organizations managing recurring governance obligations across jurisdictions; buyers seeking a standalone meeting portal can still use GlobalBoards without that connection.
Key features
Meeting materials and participation
Board packs, agendas, data rooms, annotations, secure surveys, and voting cover preparation and participation in one place. Automated minutes and resolutions help connect meeting activity to its formal record. External directors can receive segregated access to documents under Corporate Secretary control, a useful safeguard when participants should see only the materials assigned to them.
Offline iPad access
Users can download board documents to an iPad and work offline. Notes and updates are stored locally and synchronize when connectivity returns, which helps directors review materials while disconnected. That workflow is limited to iPad in the stated offline feature, and the mobile app requires iOS 17.1 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 17.1 or later on iPad.
Hosting and security
Corporatek’s AltiSaaS managed hosting reports availability exceeding 99.9%. It states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest and that the platform meets SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards. Granular role-based controls, multi-factor authentication, and audit logging support controlled access and accountability—important considerations for sensitive board records. Hosting is presented as a Corporatek offering, while GlobalBoards itself can also be used as a standalone portal.
Pricing
GlobalBoards is paid software with custom pricing. There are no published plan prices or seat limits to compare, so organizations should request a quote to judge fit against their board size and governance needs. That leaves smaller or budget-led teams without a clear way to assess cost before engaging Corporatek.
Platforms
GlobalBoards is available on iOS and the web. The mobile app’s minimum requirements are iOS 17.1 or later for iPhone and iPadOS 17.1 or later for iPad. Offline document work is described for iPad, so teams relying on another mobile platform should not assume the same offline workflow.
Who it's for
GlobalBoards is best suited to directors, corporate secretaries, and general counsel managing board and committee work across companies, subsidiaries, or jurisdictions. Its multi-entity view, external-director access controls, and EnGlobe lifecycle and quorum automation can reduce handoffs in complex governance processes. Configurable use for other private or public bodies broadens its reach, though teams without formal board processes may find the governance focus unnecessary.
Pros and cons
- Pros: Board materials, annotations, surveys, voting, minutes, and resolutions share one portal, covering more of the meeting cycle than document distribution alone.
- Pros: EnGlobe can carry lifecycle changes into agendas and resolutions, generate regulatory filings, and check quorum using jurisdiction-specific rules.
- Pros: Segregated access for external directors and AltiSaaS’s stated encryption, access controls, and audit logging address sensitive governance records.
- Pros: Downloaded iPad documents remain usable offline, with notes and updates synchronized after connectivity returns.
- Cons: Pricing is custom, making cost comparisons difficult before a quote.
- Cons: The app requires recent iOS and iPadOS versions, and the described offline workflow is for iPad.
- Cons: Lifecycle automation and jurisdiction-specific quorum checks rely on EnGlobe, so those seeking these workflows need the integration.
Alternatives
For a broader board-management comparison, see Board Management Software; organizations focused on entity records may prefer the Legal Entity Management Software category.
Consider Diligent Audit if Android or API access is important alongside iOS and web. Group Vision Web is an option for teams that need desktop operating-system support or self-hosting. Computershare BoardWorks may suit organizations that value unlimited committees, with additional users charged.
EntityKeeper offers a stated $50 a year per entity, excluding state and filing fees, for annual subscribers; consider it when entity-based pricing fits the work. MinuteBox lists a law-firm Starter plan for up to 300 entities with unlimited users, which may fit firms prioritizing entity management and legal precedents.
Alethia offers a free tier capped at five managed entities, while EntityFlo gives one entity full feature access at no charge. Inform Direct has free standard functionality for up to 10 companies, with chargeable transactions paid separately; these may suit readers seeking a free starting point within those stated caps.
Verdict
Choose GlobalBoards if your organization needs a secure board portal that can connect meeting work with multi-entity governance, lifecycle automation, and jurisdiction-aware quorum checks through EnGlobe. Its broad meeting toolkit, controlled external access, and iPad offline support are useful for directors and governance teams handling formal records. Look elsewhere if a published price, broad mobile-platform coverage, or governance software without an EnGlobe-dependent automation path is a priority.
