Run the entire grant lifecycle in one governed system.
From scheme design and application through expert peer review, funding and acquittal. A configurable solution for competitive research funding, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform.
No new platform to learn. It sits where your data and identity already live.
The solution runs natively in the Microsoft cloud, with data hosted in Australian data centres. That means lower integration risk, reuse of your existing agreements and identity, and a governance model your ICT team already understands.
