Case Study: Central Bedfordshire Council simplifies agenda creation and meeting management with Azeus Convene

Central Bedfordshire Council Shares How Convene Has Made Their Lives Easier

Central Bedfordshire Council, a UK local authority, needed a faster and more reliable way to create agenda packs, publish committee papers publicly, and support a large volume of internal and public meetings. After frustrations with an older system and previous tools such as Modern.gov and Boardpad, the council looked for a cloud-based solution that could improve efficiency and fit its growing meeting workload.

Azeus Convene provided the council with a cloud-based meeting management platform that streamlined agenda creation, document publishing, voting, announcements, and actions tracking. Central Bedfordshire Council said Convene made its work “so much easier,” with agenda creation standing out as the biggest time saver because everything is handled on one screen. The council now runs around 200–300 meetings per year through Convene, with roughly 80% of its calendar supported by the platform, and reports strong confidence in its security and permissions controls.
