Boardwise

Boardwise GmbH is registered at the Hamburg District Court under HRB 157964 with its address at Nobistor 10, Hamburg. The imprint names Sven Rebbert, Dr. Boris Häfele and Dr. Gisbert Grasses as managing directors. The about page says the company has more than 50 employees from six countries.

The architecture is the main difference from other portals: the vendor says Boardwise runs within the customer's existing Microsoft 365 and Azure environment, so authentication, permissions and document storage stay in the customer's tenant.

Workflow

The product splits the board cycle into preparation, execution and follow-up. Preparation covers topics, agenda, meeting folder and invitations, execution covers structured meetings and minutes, and follow-up covers tracking mandates and archiving compliance documentation.

AI support is listed for agenda suggestions, document summarisation, minute finalisation and follow-up suggestions.

Customers and rollout

The vendor reports more than 3,000 users and says 35 percent of DAX companies use it (vendor figures), and shows customers such as E.ON, Henkel, Stihl and Axel Springer on its site. Implementation is described as three to five weeks on average, with about three hours of technical configuration.

That points to a project rather than a self-service sign-up.

Dependency on Microsoft

Because the software runs inside the customer's Microsoft environment, data sovereignty depends on how that tenant is configured, including its region. The vendor describes the result as full data sovereignty, which holds only if the Microsoft tenant is itself set up that way.

No price is published; the site asks for a pricing request.

Limitations to Consider

Requires Microsoft 365 and Azure, so jurisdiction follows the customer's Microsoft tenant; no published price; rollout takes weeks; DACH-focused customer base.

Who Should Use Boardwise

Board offices at larger German-speaking companies that want board papers handled inside their existing Microsoft environment.
