September is here and we're already feeling the crisp breeze of Autumn.  Oliver Wendall Holmes once said that "a moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience."
In our September edition, we hope to provide you with further insight into the what's what in Grant Management Software. Our featured training this month is about changing employee id numbers.  Also, we want to be sure that you're in the know regarding the new features within our products.  As well, we want to tell you about the NCURA Travel Award should you or someone you know be in need of assistance.  Happy Fall!

       Changing Employee ID Numbers 
Have you ever entered the wrong ID number or spelling for an employee or had someone with a name change?   If so, you are not alone.  That is the reason that IT Works has a feature to help you.  Inside the Personnel Module is a feature that will allow you to make these changes and make them effective throughout the software without having to make the change in multiple places.  Learn more.
Warm Regards,

Getting the Most from IT Works

Are you getting the most out of IT Works?  Considering that on average nearly two hundred new features or reports are added to the software each year as part of the monthly upgrades, the answer is likely "no."  Enhancements have been made to the Security and User Setup sections, the Accounting Module's Projection System, the Grant Module's Compliance Tab & Document Storage capabilities, and dozens of reports have been either added or modified.  We want to make sure that you are aware of the new features and reports that are available and to insure that you are familiar with them.  One way to learn about the changes that occur each month is to take a look at the Release Notes link under the Customer Support tab on our website.  Another way you can check to see if there is something more that IT Works can be doing for you is to contact Customer Support.  We can review how you are currently using the software and answer some questions that you may have about what the software might be able to do in order to better assist you.

NCURA Travel Award

Travel

Many times travel expenses are one of the first things on the chopping block when organizations are making reductions.  Recognizing that NCURA contributes to the advancement of research administration, IT Works is providing a Travel Award for an individual who would otherwise have difficulty attending the NCURA annual meeting in Washington, D.C. 

The IT Works Travel Award covers up to $1500 of travel expenses associated with the conference including transportation, hotel, meals, and parking. Applicants must provide a brief statement describing what they hope to gain by attending the annual meeting. The deadline for application packets is September 20, 2009.  To apply click here.
