Parker’s E-Governance Journey
Paper-based Board and Committee books (pre-2010)
Massive administrative task
Initial Board Portal Solution (2011-2012)
Custom designed in a website environment
Resided on a secured area of Parker’s public website.
Limited features and functionality.
Accessing and navigating the site was inefficient
Cumbersome and time consuming to administer (8 hrs.
prepping/posting materials)
Required significant IT support (4 hours preparing/testing)
Current Board Portal Solution (2013 – Today)
Evaluated vendors and board portal solutions
Detailed due diligence on two vendors
Business Case – cost/benefit analysis – Board alignment
Decision Made to Transition to Outsourced Solution
More efficient and cost-effective

Board Portal Implementation Process
Developed implementation plan with vendor
Configured the board portal system
Parker portal administrators trained and begin using the portal to
populate content in preparation for August/September 2013 Board
Meetings
“Soft introduction” for these meetings with both the current system
and the new system populated with the content
Board members advised prior to the meetings that iPads are the ideal
devices to access board portal although any browser-based device
(PC, laptop, tablet) couldbe utilized
Training made available to the board during these meetings
New board portal would be used exclusively starting with the
November/December 2013 board meetings

Parker’s Board Portal Benefits
Board Member Efficiencies
User friendly interface through iPad or computer to a secure
portal
Streamlined and time savings for access to critical board
information.
Administration Efficiencies
Coordinating and posting materials reduced by 50%
IT Department Efficiencies
Preparing and testing the board portal reduced time to near zero
Senior Management Efficiencies
Happy Board = Happy Management
In addition, can be used to manage and centralize internal
committees and task forces.

Board Portal – User Feedback Survey
Administered in 3Q14 – four quarters after portal implemented
88% feel the use of the portal is not difficult
35% felt initial training was not adequate
77% are moderately to extremely familiar with technology, 24% are
slightly to somewhat familiar
The majority of users find the portal easy to use and are pleased with
the portal
Overall consensus that the portal is valuable
Coincides with users who consider themselves to be familiar with
technology and are likely to use the portal during board meetings
Overall increase in Parker management and administrative staff
efficiency
Saving countless administrative hours per quarter
IT is rarely engaged to support portal issues.
