Detailed Review
iBabs B.V. is registered in the Netherlands and, according to its own privacy statement, is part of Euronext Corporate Solutions and the Euronext N.V. Group. The about page says the product started with Dutch government ministries and later added meeting management, and that it is now used by more than 3,000 organisations with over 300,000 users (vendor figures).
The portal is built around the formal meeting cycle: agendas and board packs go out to members, documents are marked up and annotated, votes are captured online and minutes and action items are tracked afterwards. Add-ons on the pricing page include a public information portal for councils, live and on-demand streaming of public meetings and AI transcripts, summaries and minutes.
Meeting cycle and voting
The feature list on the pricing page names board meeting management, calendar management, minutes, actions and decisions, document markup and annotation, video conferencing, file sharing, Microsoft 365 integration, offline access and voting. Actions are tracked with a red, amber and green traffic-light status.
Documents can be signed inside the platform with an electronic signature, and dossiers give documents an approval route. The mobile apps cover Android and iOS, and offline access is listed for members who read packs without a connection.
Security and hosting
iBabs states ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, AES-256 encryption, two-factor authentication and tenant-specific encryption keys. The security page says the platform runs on Microsoft Azure.
Because Azure is operated by a US provider, a buyer who wants a hosting guarantee beyond the privacy statement's reference to EEA servers should ask for the Azure region and the data processing agreement in writing.
Pricing and ownership
The pricing page shows a calculator with a country field and a user count, but the amounts are not in the server-rendered HTML, so no price is quoted here. Sales offers volume discount rates for larger user numbers.
Ownership by a European exchange group is stated on the vendor's own pages. That makes iBabs a subsidiary rather than an independent vendor, which matters to buyers who want a standalone supplier.
Limitations to Consider
No list price in the HTML; hosting runs on Microsoft Azure with the region not named on the pages read; AI transcription and the public portal are separate add-ons; a Euronext subsidiary rather than an independent company.
Who Should Use iBabs
Organisations that need formal voting, minutes and a public meeting portal and prefer a Dutch-registered vendor over a US board portal.
