Knowa platform

Knowa provides me with a simple, secure and powerful tool that greatly enhances my ability to prepare for and run meetings, collaborate with colleagues and advisers, reach and record decisions and store documentation

PROS

Knowa makes my life so much easier. When acting as a trustee across multiple schemes, I need to store, search for, retrieve and share current and historical scheme info in a readily accessible and secure way, run meetings, collaborate with colleagues / advisers and sometimes seek online decisions. Knowa delivers on all of these.

CONS

I can honestly say that I have yet to discover any pitfalls to using Knowa.

Best product I've seen in a long time!

brilliant, amazing, useful, easy

PROS

The ease of use of Knowa is what sets it apart from other competitors, even if you've not used it for a wee while, it is still so very easy to use and understand. I really like the meeting packs/agenda setting/meeting things, they are again super useful and easy to use.My last great point is the support from Will, Aled and the rest of the Knowa team. Their knowledge and training methods are second to none - they are all outstanding, down to earth and helpful.

CONS

I love Knowa I can't say a bad word about it! I recommend to everyone that I meet!

Reasons for switching to Knowa

Boardpacks was clunky and not helpful - there was noone to really ask questions and as we had it through a 3rd party advisor, adding and removing access was horrendous!

Review of governance platform on Knowa

I find Knowa very helpful and use the system daily but it does appears difficult to engage all our Trustees.

PROS

It's easy to locate files on document storage. The meeting management facility is excellent. The team at Knowa are extremely helpful, friendly and are always striving to make improvements. The Risk Register facility is user friendly and helpful as the Trustee and advisers are able to access. I like the ability to ask other group members to either vote or read a post. I like the collaboration area but it does appear to be difficult to encourage our advisers to respond to this thread. The reason why they prefer to respond via email is that they are unable to keep an audit trail at their end.

CONS

It would be helpful if documents within each of the categories could be added so the last document is automatically shown at the top of the list.It would be helpful if once documents are added to the storage area, there is a facility to rename the file. At the moment, I am altering the title (making it slightly shorter and trying to cover full details of document ie add a date and removing any reference number from an adviser) in Solvay's storage area before moving to Knowa.

Reasons for switching to Knowa

BAC had been bought by Hymans and were no longer able to provide this service.We were encouraged by Zephyrus/Solvay/ndapt to use this system as the other four Solvay pension schemes were using this system and a number of ndapts' clients were too.

Efficient and Secure Collaboration for Board made accessible for Nonprofits

Our overall experience with Knowa has been extremely positive. It serves as a cornerstone for our collaborative efforts, providing an intuitive platform for document sharing and decision-making. The AI companion has notably enhanced our efficiency, offering rapid access to a wealth of information across various documents. This, combined with an accessible pricing and robust security measures, ensures that we can achieve high productivity while safeguarding our data. We find Knowa to be an indispensable asset that significantly contributes to our operational success.

PROS

The most impressive aspect of Knowa for our nonprofit has been the combination of its collaborative features and the AI companion. The ease with which we can share, access, and manage documents across different team members significantly speeds up our decision-making process. The AI companion is a standout feature that facilitates quick information retrieval and analysis from a wide array of documents, ensuring that our knowledge base is efficiently utilised. Knowa's accessible pricing model for charities has made it possible for our organisation to benefit from these advanced tools without financial strain.

CONS

Knowa has been largely beneficial, there is nothing to report.
