Cayuse Expands Ecosystem with InfoReady Strategic Partnership

Cayuse, a leader in research administration software for universities, hospitals, and research organizations today announced the expansion of its Partnership ecosystem with the addition of InfoReady Corporation.  InfoReady, an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based SaaS software company, specializes in automating difficult processes for Universities and Research Organizations, such as internal competitions and limited submissions. This partnership will allow customers to manage their entire pre-award workflow, both federal and non-federal, using a combination of Cayuse and InfoReady products.

“The cornerstone of our strategy is to provide a comprehensive suite of solutions to the research community,” said Matt McLellan, CEO of Cayuse. “This partnership is an important next step in achieving our vision of a comprehensive ecosystem of electronic research administration solutions that will enable researchers to focus on innovation by reducing administrative burdens while conducting research activities.”

InfoReady serves more than 140 higher education institutions with their cornerstone platform, InfoReady Review™, a software solution that streamlines the grant application review processes. InfoReady Scale™ is the company’s online hub that centralizes and aggregates all research investments, initiatives, and supporting resources. Together, these products simplify administrative business practices with easy to use, easy to configure, flexible and powerful solutions.

“Cayuse understands the needs of the research community and shares our passion for simplifying the process of managing resources and driving transparency,” said Bhushan Kulkarni, CEO of InfoReady. “As a strategic partner, our customers will benefit from their vast industry knowledge and commitment to making research investments achieve the best possible outcomes.”

Cayuse and InfoReady are also exploring the integration of their products with mutual customers. This integration would further enhance the value and ease of use within the customers’ workflow and simplify the movement of customer data.

Cayuse 424 and Pivot Are Now Integrated

Cayuse 424, the industry standard for fast submission of federal grant proposals, integrates with Ex Libris Pivot, a leading global funding discovery tool

PORTLAND, Ore. (November 8, 2018) — Cayuse, a leader in research administration software for universities, hospitals, and research organizations, is announcing its official integration with Ex Libris Pivot, the most comprehensive source of global funding opportunities.

In 2017, Cayuse customers submitted $35.5 billion in U.S. federal funding via Cayuse 424, the company’s system-to-system grant submission software. Now, Cayuse customers have access to the most prominent global funding opportunities and the ability to apply for grants all in one platform thanks to the recent integration with Pivot. Currently, there are over $50 billion in funding opportunities with Pivot, and that number is increasing.

“Cayuse 424 makes the grant submission process easier,” states Matt McLellan, Cayuse CEO. “Pivot makes the grant discovery process easier. The integration makes sense and helps simplify procedures for the research community—allowing researchers to quickly find and apply for funds.”

Pivot has an elaborate review process that ensures active, accurate funding opportunities. Now, Cayuse customers can configure Pivot integration functionality and admins can decide whether the functionality is visible to all users or just administrative staff. This functionality can launch a user from a Pivot opportunity into the Cayuse 424 or Cayuse SP workflow where new proposals are created.

Eddie Neuwirth, Senior Director of Product Management at Ex Libris, commented, “The integration of Pivot with Cayuse 424 will further streamline research funding workflows for our joint customers, making it even easier to acquire research funding. Our partnership with Cayuse continues to serve our mission of facilitating academic research by reducing information silos and enabling efficient processes.”

Cayuse and Ex Libris share a common goal: wanting to alleviate frustrations with existing research management including limited and scattered information across unconnected systems. From helping institutions find funding with Pivot to submitting proposals to project close-out and everything in between, Cayuse is thrilled to help and improve the lifecycle for those involved in the research industry. Cayuse customers will continue to save time and improve efficiency by having the ability to quickly search and apply for grants on one platform.
