The University of Texas (UT) System approved Cayuse424 for UT System schools, endorsing the value of a Web-based approach to federal grant applications. This article in Texas Technology Monthly details some of those benefits and quotes several of our contented customers.
One important point is underscored: the downloadable forms from Grants.gov are not suitable to the task of the electronic federal grant application, for either large or small institutions.
This is a question we hear from time to time. I could say, "don't ask us, ask any one of our customers who have switched from PureEdge," but that's not really an answer.
I could also say, "there's no such thing as a free lunch," but that's been said.
PureEdge is only "free" in terms of license cost. In terms of labor,
preparation, rework and frustration, it's quite expensive, especially
when you calculate the labor cost throughout the research organization.
The inefficiencies in PureEdge
forms creates a direct time and labor expense to the enterprise. Just because an organization doesn't measure that expense does not mean it's not there. It's there, and it's significant.
It is exactly this inherent inefficiency that is addressed and solved by Cayuse424. Customers who adopt the Cayuse solution
endorse it enthusiastically.
