University streamlines grant processing
The Medical University of South Carolina has cut error rates and improved efficiency with automation, by using business process management (BPM) software, reports Campus Technology.
The university depends heavily on grants to finance its medical research. After those grants are awarded, the university manages the allocation process, including up to 3 000 requests for fund distribution changes every quarter.
Before the university began moving to BPM software two years ago, the grant allocation process was entirely manual, relying on disparate legacy systems to process the high volume of information. That meant that the same information had to be keyed into different front-end and back-end systems, resulting in significant delays and errors.
