What Pervasent does

Pervasent Software, Inc., founded in 2008 and headquartered in Oakland, California with a secondary office in Göteborg, Sweden, sells board and meeting management software built natively on the Microsoft 365 stack. Its two core products are Board Papers, a SharePoint-based board portal first co-developed with Standard Chartered Bank and deployed in 2011, and Team Papers, a Microsoft Teams-based meeting portal that brings the same book-like document experience into Teams. Both products store customer data inside the organization's own Microsoft 365 tenancy or on-premises SharePoint farm, support annotation, electronic signatures, voting and approval workflows, offline access, and AES-256 encryption, and are integrated with Microsoft Copilot for document summarization, risk analysis, and decision recaps.

The company targets regulated and governance-heavy buyers — financial institutions, healthcare systems (including NHS England and NHS Scotland-approved deployments), government agencies, educational institutions, and non-profits — across more than 35 countries. Pricing is annual per-seat subscription, with volume discounts for larger organizations, a dedicated enterprise quote-based track for large deployments, a 90-day free trial, and a discounted tier for non-profits. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, Microsoft AppSource, and consumer app stores (Apple App Store, Microsoft Store, Google Play), giving Pervasent both field-sales and product-led growth motions.

Pervasent is a private, bootstrapped firm with 11–50 employees and no disclosed funding rounds or revenue figures. Its strategic positioning is that of a Microsoft 365-native specialist rather than a standalone board-portal vendor, which both concentrates risk on Microsoft's ecosystem roadmap and creates switching costs and procurement friction that benefit an established incumbent.

Core offering

Pervasent develops and sells Board Papers and Team Papers, board and meeting portal solutions built natively on Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams. These products enable board members, committee members, and meeting attendees to access, review, annotate, vote on, and electronically sign meeting documents from a book-like app on tablets, laptops, and mobile devices, with offline access and Microsoft Copilot-powered AI summarization.

Product overview

Pervasent offers two core board and meeting management products built on Microsoft 365 platforms: Board Papers (built on SharePoint) and Team Papers (built on Microsoft Teams). Both products provide the same user experience—a book-like app that gives meeting participants two-tap access to agendas and documents—with the key difference being where administrators assemble meeting materials (SharePoint vs. Teams). The solutions share features including document annotation, electronic voting, signature capture, offline access, and AI-powered document analysis via Microsoft Copilot integration.
