Engagement Hub available for Corporate & Foundation Relations

Written by Sarah Yecke | 24/03/2020

InfoReady Corporation, a leading provider of workflow software to higher education, announced today that Engagement Hub – a graphical display of tiles unifying relevant opportunities and activities on a single webpage and allowing users to search, identify, and act upon their preferences – is now available to higher education Corporate and Foundation Relations departments.

Implementing the Engagement Hub and Scale, its backend workflow function, allows C&FR administrators to immediately showcase relevant internal opportunities, programs, and priorities. These are shared with prospective external partners and funders in a “one-stop shop” manner – whether those external entities are seeking sponsored research investment opportunities, faculty expertise, student interns or employees, departmental strengths, prospective research partners, or funding priorities. 

“Now, more than ever,” says Eric Jacobson, InfoReady Corporation President, “higher education needs the support of corporations and foundations. This is regardless of whether that support is extended in terms of grants, joint research agreements or research support. And, student opportunities and partnerships are also vital. So, it’s critical that when corporate and foundation executives visit a college’s or university’s website, they envision all that institution offers their organization. Corporations and foundations need to see how they can learn more and take action steps. That’s precisely what the Engagement Hub enables.”

InfoReady is now in discussions with 10 universities to pilot the platform and hopes to launch two institutions by end-of year.
