Struggling with an ineffective grant management system?
Most organisations which offer grants have some sort of system to manage the process. How do you compare with the following descriptions?
- You have basic internal systems
It may be you have a mixture of paper documents and assorted spreadsheets and forms with email communication to team members and partners.
- You have an internally developed or specially written IT solution
Some grant funders have gone down the route of developing a system that has simply evolved. The time and effort involved has probably been considerable but these systems tend to need increasing additions as time progresses. Maintaining such systems is often difficult and costly.
- You already have purchased a grant management system
There are numerous “ Grant Systems” on the market. Unfortunately, you don’t always get what you pay for. If your system took more than 6 months to install you have probably got a poor solution. Of course some systems are better than others but many of the older systems are based on expensive database systems such as Oracle and were not designed for web use.
- Does your organisation need a flexible, easily web accessed system with comprehensive reporting and rock solid governance?
Your investment has been made, it's history, it's spent and cannot be recovered. Focus instead on the present and future. Consider the current costs of running and maintaining a poor system which does not provide all you need now and in the coming years. We have experience in migrating data from exiting spreadsheets and databases so that you can upgrade to the world leading Grant Management system for scientific research organisations.
