The Challenge

Problem Statement

A major academic institution needed a centralized platform to manage research projects, grant applications, and collaboration between faculty members, researchers, and students. Their existing system was outdated, lacked proper security controls, and couldn't scale to handle growing research activities across multiple departments. Key pain points included fragmented systems across different departments, no unified access control for sensitive research data, manual grant application and approval processes, poor collaboration tools for multi-department projects, and compliance concerns with data protection regulations.
