6 Reasons Your Organization Should Consider GMS Essentials

By Anonymous -
You’re a grants manager with a small team. You only handle a few grant programs a year and your application and processing requirements are pretty basic and straightforward. You’ve been using a mix of emails, spreadsheets and paper files to keep track of everything.

It’s not an ideal solution, and since you’ve been thinking about expanding your program, you’re concerned that this current set-up won’t be able to handle a more complex granting process.

Fortunately, SmartSimple has introduced a new grants management product – GMS Essentials – that’s designed specifically for organizations that want to expand their granting activities. Whether that means adding more programs or introducing more complex application processes, GMS Essentials will provide the added features and functionality to manage your applications, tracking, reporting and awards processes in one centralized location.
Why is GMS Essentials the best choice for a growing organization? Here are six key reasons why it might be time to take your process into the cloud with SmartSimple:
  1. A build-as-you-go system GMS Essentials is completely scalable and 100% configurable, so as your needs grow, your platform grows with you. You can turn on additional features as you need, or have the SmartSimple team configure them for you.
  2. Dynamic key features GMS Essentials combines four robust modules – submission manager, meeting manager, budget manager and program manager – that form the foundation of the platform. Each module makes it faster and easier to manage and track your granting program no matter the number of grants, grantees or applicants.
  3. Fully configurable reporting and dashboard capabilities The intuitive interface makes building dashboards and creating comprehensive reports painless. GMS Essentials comes with a range of visual options for displaying your information in a way that’s meaningful to all your stakeholders.
  4. Rapid implementation process Our Rapid Deploy team will not only work with you every step of the way, they’ll get your system up and running quickly. They’ll ensure that every aspect of the platform is setup to suit your needs.
  5. No IT expertise required GMS Essentials was designed with the grants manager in mind, so you don’t need a dedicated IT expert to manage the system. We’ll make sure you learn what you need to maintain your platform, plus, our Support Team is always available if you need help.
  6. No coding needed We know not everyone has coding experience. Thankfully, GMS Essentials has been created to empower your grantees to code their own applications so you don’t have to.

More and more business today is being done in the cloud. While this offers amazing flexibility and accessibility advantages, everything you use in the cloud still needs to be physically stored somewhere, and that’s the role a server plays in your system. There are two types of servers you can use; a dedicated server or a non-dedicated server. Google's server farm in Douglas County, Iowa What’s the Difference? A non-dedicated server means your server is “hosted” in a shared environment with other, separate organizations.   A dedicated server is your organization’s own server and only contains your data.
