About PIER Software Technologies:

At PIER Software Technologies, we understand the problems facing departmental business officers. Institutions conducting sponsored research possess jungles of data systems that fall short of sustaining departmental missions, only handling institutional grant management objectives. In reality, most grant-related data managed at the department level is actually created within the department. People, Programs, Projects, Proposals, and Effort constitute the bulk of data essential for grant management or effort management in departments, centers, and divisions. How can business officers corral this mission critical data, and use it effectively? PIER brings answers!

Let’s face it! The garnering of extramural support for research programs constitutes the mission critical thrust of departmental administration. Effective administration begins with knowing the financial status of a department’s research faculty and laboratories. Key data elements needed to manage research grants and proposals include funded or pending grant applications, program and project award periods, awarded direct and indirect dollars, and supported investigator effort. PIER grant management software delivers all this and more!

PIER Software Technologies delivers and supports personnel and grant management software for sponsored research administrators.  PIER's grant management software is extremely capable for effort management, and provides sponsored research administrators with enhanced resources to manage research personnel, projects, and awards. Our dynamic grant management software consists of networked database platforms for sharing critical research data elements among administrators, centers, departments, divisions, or the entire research enterprise.

PIER Software Technologies offers stand-alone or network-based grant management software systems with database platforms uniquely tailored to the needs of your organization. Take control of your Person, Project, and Effort activity with PIER grant management software. Stop looking at your data, let PIER’s Control Panel present it to you.
