Experts in Research Information Management ecosystems

EXPERTISE & OFFERINGS

Research Intelligence that leverages all of your RIM investments, to reduce burden and increase grant awards.

Welcome to the future of Research Information Management

Several years ago, we saw a critical need in most universities’ ability to leverage their Research Information Management (RIM) investments. Adequate information usually existed in the university, and they had often already invested in valuable commercial or open-source RIM related systems and data sources. But the various systems were not populated with very complete or consistent information, and the people and operations were not benefiting from the collection of systems that they had. What was going wrong?

We came to realize a few things:

  • Many of the efforts took a product-centric or system-centric approach… but most successful implementations look more like ecosystems.
  • Only a portion of the complexity can be solved with technology… a large proportion of the work is on frameworks and methods for bringing disparate groups together to collaborate in new ways.
  • The work at the lower layers must be driven by application innovations at the top that support strategic initiatives, intelligence, and relieving operational burden.

West Arete has oriented our offerings
around these principles ever since.

We are not an alternative to the various valuable products, systems, and data sources that are already out there; we enhance those investments by working with universities to leverage them to their greatest potential.

West Arete’s Core Offerings

We meet institutions where they are, providing support tailored to their needs — whether advising, assisting, or fully managing the process.

Regardless of your preferred level of engagement, you can choose from a three-layer solutions stack. And with each capability, your university retains ownership of the intellectual property - including the software.

Fostering organizational change and cross-silo cooperation is just as important as technology. Our solutions are not just systems; they create holistic research ecosystems for your institution. Designed to align with your university's strategic plan, our offerings bring together the right stakeholders to make sure it works for everyone involved.
