Like all Agate Software products, IntelliGrants is a true web-based application. This enables worldwide, secure access to your grants database via standard web browsers, both for program staff and applicants. No additional software is needed to ensure equal access to all users.

Agate Software centers its development strategy on the Microsoft development platform. Utilizing Microsoft SQL database solutions and the latest web technologies such as .NET framework and Active Server Pages (ASP), Agate Software's experience, resources, and reliability provide a firm foundation upon which to build your grant management solution. As a Microsoft Certified Partner, we have direct access to high-end programmer support, ensuring we always have the latest information and programming resources.

Integration Services
As part of any IntelliGrants implementation, Agate Software, Inc. can provide systems integration and data migration/conversion services. Agate Software has integrated IntelliGrants with a variety of state data systems including interfacing to legacy financial systems. IntelliGrants can support a wide variety of integration methods, data connections, and data export/import options including flat file or batch file transfer, XML, DTS packages, ODBC, etc. Agate Software, Inc. uses a comprehensive process of designing, building, and testing interface functionality based on our client’s project requirements.

Training
A qualified, well-trained staff is essential to the effective and efficient operation of any software solution.  Providing staff with a comprehensive training curriculum reinforced with multiple training opportunities will ensure that IntelliGrants solutions are utilized to their full potential.  Our goal is to provide a well constructed training plan which educates users during the implementation phase and provides effective on-going training after system deployment.

Agate’s training philosophy marries key components of effective adult learning techniques with years of experience in deploying large-scale system installations. Training curriculum can be structured using a “Train-the-Trainer” approach or can be designed to focus on training end users directly.
