Anne Greaves, Digital Communications Officer at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust on how Convene has reduced their printing by nearly 60,000 pages a year.
"...We got the sense there was a lot more flexibility in terms of moving Convene forward and adapting it to our needs, which wouldn’t necessarily be the case with the other providers. This has proven to be the case."
Oliver Roth, Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive, shared their insights on how they implemented Convene with 180 users across their senior management teams, all the while causing minimal disruption for the IT department.
"We were aware that every administrator who organised meetings, cobbled together their own processes using Word, Outlook, a shared drive on Windows explorer, and sometimes even Dropbox. They needed to do this because we had nothing specific for meetings. We knew that there had to be a better way...so the Chief Executive asked me to look into bringing an all-in-one solution on board."

We spoke to Jonathan Jenkins, Chief Executive at London's Air Ambulance, to find out how Convene understood their cost requirements and was flexible in providing a solution to meet their needs after another provider let them down.
"Most of our trustees work for other large organisations, therefore email security is crucial. With Convene they can download documents via the app. This ensures that the documents are accessible to the intended audience only."
Gerry Crow, Executive Board member & Business Development Officer at Mary Stevens Hospice on how Convene made accessing relevant information more straightforward.
'We now have a secure and easily accessible historical repository of information, so that any member of staff that has permission, can look back at the history and find out what was decided at the various meetings in the past.
Even during a meeting, if a question arises about previous discussions and outcomes, the document can be found on Convene, and can simply be dragged and dropped straight into the meeting. We are using Convene now for all of our Trustee meetings, our committee meetings, and our high-level meetings."
