MANAGE AND MULTIPLY YOUR RESEARCH POWER AND PRODUCTIVITY
Today’s research requirements are significant. Parsing large amounts of data, publishing and
dissemination of information, sharing and collaboration with multiple teams and partners around the
globe, tracking and accounting for grants… the technology needs for research units are unique,
considerable, time consuming and costly.
Microsoft’s Research Management solutions can help you create an attractive and affordable research
environment powered by cutting-edge technologies that effectively meet all these needs, and more.
Working directly with our partners and several university research units, we’ve designed solutions to
enable better collaboration and deliver smarter tools for analysis, development and professional
authoring, plus scalable and powerful on-demand computing power at a lower cost of ownership.
