Boardwise is a software-as-a-service company based in Hamburg, Germany. The company specializes in streamlining board and management meetings by integrating all processes directly into Microsoft Teams, enabling organizations to manage governance more efficiently, transparently, and securely.
Founded in 2019, Boardwise was created to address real internal needs within Axel Springer’s executive office. The platform helps boards, supervisory boards, and works councils save 40–60% of their time by automating meeting preparation, agenda creation, document distribution, approvals, and minutes generation. It is now used by over 30% of DAX companies.
The solution is AI-powered, offering features like automated minutes, topic registration, circular voting, task tracking, and native Copilot integration. Boardwise runs within the customer’s existing Microsoft Azure tenant, ensuring maximum data sovereignty and compliance with enterprise security standards.
Formerly known as Gertrud Digital, the company rebranded to Boardwise to better reflect its mission as it expanded internationally. Today, Boardwise serves global enterprises including Bosch, Henkel, Würth, RWE, E.ON, and Volkswagen Financial Services.
