Cost/Benefit Analysis for Enterprise Grants Management — 4/25/2007, 16:30 EDT

I’m speaking at this event tomorrow night, and you’re all invited! It’s sponsored by Grantium, a provider of COTS grants management products. Here’s the pitch:

The timely topics that we will cover are:

* Optional approaches to modernizing Enterprise Grants Management solutions

* The keys to a successful system implementation

* Input costs for Enterprise Grant Management system solutions

* Expectations for results — the value proposition

This seminar is a direct response to the increase in the demand for grants management solutions that we have been experiencing for the past several months.

The panel will take place on April 25th from 4:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. followed by a networking reception from 5:15: p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Rotunda Room, Ronald Reagan building (1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C). There is no cost but registration is requested. You can RSVP by emailing events@grantium.com or calling Sue Barrett at 1.866.417.0007 ext. 246.

My fellow panelists will be Sandy Schwab, former OMB policy guru and now an independent advisor, and Peter Andrews, CEO of Grantium. I’ll be talking mainly about the different options for acquiring and deploying an enterprise grants management system — custom, GOTS, COTS, components — and their pros and cons. See you there!
