We spoke to Scott Hyde, Senior governance Manager at Clarion Housing Association, to find out how Convene has helped them have more efficient meetings.
Convene’s Audit Trail feature gives us the ability to see who has downloaded and viewed each document which is especially useful. The Document Library is also particularly useful and it’s easy to edit. It’s really helpful when you have to submit papers at the last minute which everyone has to do at times! The fact that you can add or remove a paper without having to republish the whole pack is also beneficial. We were impressed by how fast the file upload was!
David Wingham, Director of Corporate Services at Coastline Housing Association, explains why they chose Convene, after a competing software had let them down.
"We found Convene really quick and intuitive to use. It was the functionality that swayed us. It did exactly what we wanted."

"Since using Convene we can identify demonstrable savings and increased efficiencies, there have been comments from employees who have said that their lives are easier with the system in place"
Paul Phillis Kirk, ICT Business Partner – Relationship Manager, talks about how he implemented a digital meeting solution in Convene for YHG’s board of directors.
"Convene has also significantly reduced the time and resources required to create meeting reports and board packs.
In Convene, all you have to do is import all the relevant documents and updates, and the app collates them for you."
