As one of America's leading metropolitan research institutions, the University of Central Florida (UCF) needed a research administration system capable of managing its vast and growing research while simultaneously providing individual researchers, department chairs, college deans, and other managers with the vital information required.

The Academic Research and Grants Information System (ARGIS) is a fully relational, highly functional application that truly represents unique developments in web-based technology, particularly in the use of databases to drive page layout, design, user interface, and backend services. ARGIS is a fully web-based information system that also connects and interfaces with other university ERP systems to provide a single point to access research information for all stakeholders.

The IST Time Sheet system allows employees to enter their weekly efforts towards one or more contracts and grants and on a pay period basis automatically transmits the needed information to the Human Resources department to charge the appropriate account for their efforts. This electronic system replaced a labor intensive manual/hard-copy process of tracking time against particular efforts.

Communities of Practice (CoPs) are groups that form to share what they know, and to learn from one another regarding some aspects of their work. A portal is the perfect means of bringing together a collaboration environment to support that CoP.

The process of developing M&S Standards Documents is complex and long. This application automates much of the work by inviting submissions, notifying various reviewers, providing for public discussion, and finalizing approvals.

The Army Project Information Management System (APIMS) was created to streamline the submission and review of proposal submissions to published Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs). Users can submit their proposal through the online system, designated evaluators can review the submission against a list of established criteria, then using Parametric Decision Making, the reporting functions provide for a sensitivity analysis of how the proposals have been rated. The system also is used to notify submitters of acceptance and continues all the way through award of the project. During the award phase, the system provides a means to upload Monthly Reports and other project related documents to keep the government informed of the project's progress.

The Nursing Course Advising and Planning System (NCAPS) aids in the development and tracking of academic plans of study tailored to the needs of the student, as approved by an advisor. The system stores course information for each program and track, and includes generic programs of study to aid in the development of a student’s program of study. NCAPS provides a variety of reports used to aid in the planning of course offerings for future academic semesters as well as periodic studies required for accreditation reviews (to include student certification/immunization status, demographic information, and more).
