                                     The directors really like the annotation tools, too. When we were evaluating portals, we saw solutions that were richer in
                                     features, but were also ‘monsters’ – much more difficult to use. Board Papers had the right features for us, so rolling it out
                                     was easy. Being SharePoint-based, it was that much simpler to implement.
