Decentralization Capability Info. Office gives the institution the option of decentralized research administration, and permits the institution to define the level and extent of what functions and services it decides to decentralize. Whether you choose the Info. Maintenance and updates happen automatically and directly to the INfoEd server. With the Intranet Purchase Plan, there is an initial purchase price, and an annual maintenance fee following the first year of implementation.
All data resides on the client institution's dedicated server.
On-line Help Manuals become virtually unnecessary. Help is sponsor specific and field specific. The screens are linked to the sponsors own on-line information and the institution specific tables are preset by the system and module administrators so they are current and accurate. This eliminates stray pieces of paper and binders of instructions. The information is immediately available to the user whether they are in their office or working from home.
