The OpenWater Grant Management Difference

Traditional Conference Management

 

OpenWater Abstract Software

Need for Multiple Systems

Most online grant management solutions begin and end with application collection. Then, you have to handle review and tracking via email or spreadsheets.

Unified, Robust Platform

With OpenWater, your organization can handle all grant management tasks—whether completed by applicants, reviewers, chairs, or administrators—in one fully integrated solution, saving you time, money, and stress.

Disconnected Look & Feel

Many grant solutions take applicants to a seemingly unconnected site to upload their materials. This switch confuses users and often lowers the number of submissions.

Consistent Branding

OpenWater will create a custom-branded upload portal that matches your organization’s existing visual identity. This way, users will know they’re in a place they can trust and be more likely to submit their grant application.

Too Many Moving Parts

Without real-time reporting and analytics, it’s almost impossible to understand the applicant or reviewer side of the grant process. And, if you aren’t informed, you can’t make the best possible decisions to improve your practices.

Easily Accessible Information

OpenWater’s advanced analytics capabilities eliminate confusion and simplify communication. You can automatically send reminders to applicants and reviewers, and it’s easy to tell the status of any action item.
