Most universities already have the research information they need. The challenge is that it’s scattered across disconnected systems, spreadsheets and departments, making it difficult to answer strategic questions about funding, collaboration, impact, compliance and institutional performance with confidence. As research ecosystems become more complex, fragmented information becomes a strategic liability. This white paper explores why leading institutions are rethinking research information management and what role a Research Information Management System (RIMS) can play in creating a connected view of the research enterprise. You’ll learn: Why disconnected research data limits institutional decision-making How connected research information supports funding, collaboration and visibility The difference between a RIMS and an institutional repository (IR) Key considerations for evaluating and implementing a RIMS
