It ensures your organisation is doing all it can to fulfil its fiduciary duty and meet the requirements of the law. When it comes to the software you use, you need to make sure you create an infrastructure that makes good governance simple. [**Convene in Teams**](https://www.azeusconvene.co.uk/teams?hsLang=en-gb) was conceived to help organisations streamline their internal governance. The solution takes the benefits of our [**Board Portal**](https://www.azeusconvene.co.uk/board-portal?hsLang=en-gb) and integrates them with [**Microsoft Teams**](https://www.azeusconvene.co.uk/blog/what-does-an-integration-with-microsoft-teams-mean?hsLang=en-gb)**, **meaning everyone in your organisation can make the most of our [**award-winning**](https://www.azeusconvene.co.uk/blog/azeus-convene-named-best-board-portal-in-2021-digital-quadrant-awards?hsLang=en-gb) features. Your team meetings will never be the same again! Here are four of the key ways the integration can support your business practices. 1. Enhance Collaboration One of the main advantages of Convene in Teams is that it can place everyone on an even playing field. Our collaborative tools make it easy to make meetings more accessible, so your whole team can contribute to meetings. This is absolutely crucial for [**good governance**](https://www.azeusconvene.co.uk/blog/what-is-good-governance?hsLang=en-gb). The first point on the Council of Europe’s 12 Principles of Good Governance is Fair Conduct of Elections, Representation, and Participation. Throughout their list, making sure everyone is heard is essential. 2. Improve Security While maintaining a reasonable level of security is not the only part of good governance, it is certainly an important one! With [**AES 256-bit**](https://www.azeusconvene.co.uk/blog/simple-explanation-what-is-aes-256-bit-encryption?hsLang=en-gb) encryption and [**CMMI Level 5 accreditation**](https://cmmiinstitute.com/cmmi), Convene in Teams is designed to respond to evolving cybersecurity threats.

Maintain Accountability With Convene in Teams, you can make sure every action is tracked and recorded, with a comprehensive timeline of action. This tool is invaluable when it comes to good governance. You need to know that everything that goes on inside your organisation is to the benefit of the company as a whole. [**Audits**](https://www.azeusconvene.co.uk/blog/the-importance-of-audit-trails?hsLang=en-gb) are an essential part of compliance. They allow you to ensure transparency and accountability within the organisation, as well as being a legal requirement! Convene in Teams makes this process simple with the possibility of consistent auto-generated audit trails. 4. Streamline Efficiency Convene in Teams can help improve efficiency at every stage of the admin process. This, in itself, is crucial for good governance. If the system you use is outdated and inefficient, you will find it difficult to keep on top of your organisation’s governance needs in the long term.
