Good morning, all!

Our Business Office has just made the move from FRS to Banner Finance;
meanwhile, our Sponsored Programs office continues to manage all of our
grant-related tracking data on Excel spreadsheets, plus some data entry
into an Advancement-based program called Millennium (which doesn't help
us at all; it's mainly for Advancement's benefit).

I am spearheading an effort to acquire a data management software
program for our office that is specifically made for Sponsored Programs,
primarily for managing our post-award financial data and generating
reports. It would be nice if there was a module for time and effort as
well, and it would be a huge bonus if it were compatible with Banner
(though if it weren't, it wouldn't necessarily be a deal-breaker).

I would appreciate any feedback from those of you who have a post-award
grants management software program that you really, really like
(Banner-compatible or not) and that you would feel comfortable
recommending. Likewise, if you use a program that you really dislike, I
would appreciate hearing about this as well.

Also, for anyone who actually does use the Banner Grants Module, is this
something you would personally recommend? How well does it interface
with Banner Finance? Does it serve your needs adequately, or do you wish
you had something different?

Please feel free to e-mail me directly if you wish:

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
