STREAMLYNE vs InfoEd

How institutions are comparing Streamlyne and InfoEd

Streamlyne is a modern, unified research administration platform enhanced with AI, designed to reduce complexity, improve visibility, and give institutions greater control across the full research lifecycle.

InfoEd is a long-standing provider in research administration, with solutions for grants management, compliance, and proposal development. As eRA software is a niche solution, InfoEd’s longevity makes it a recognizable name to many institutions, even as needs evolve.

Increasingly, institutions are looking beyond legacy platforms toward solutions that offer a more modern user experience, stronger reporting, and a more unified approach to managing the research lifecycle. In those areas, Streamlyne is often viewed as a more forward-looking alternative.

• Modern platform vs. legacy foundation:
  Streamlyne is built as a modern, unified platform, while InfoEd is often perceived as a legacy system that has evolved over time, which can impact usability and consistency across modules.
• Unified architecture:
  Streamlyne’s single-codebase design supports consistent workflows across pre-award, compliance, and post-award, reducing the need to navigate disconnected components.
• Real-time reporting and visibility:
  Streamlyne provides live dashboards, drill-down reporting, and end-user report building, enabling faster access to insights without reliance on IT or static reports.
• AI-enhanced capabilities:
  Streamlyne incorporates AI to improve funding discovery, workflow efficiency, and decision-making, helping institutions move beyond manual processes and static systems.
• Clear, enterprise-ready integrations:
  Streamlyne supports ETL and API-based integrations with systems such as Workday, Oracle, PeopleSoft, and Banner, aligning research administration with broader campus infrastructure.
• Modernization without disruption:
  Streamlyne delivers continuous updates and one-click modernization, avoiding the need for large-scale system upgrades or replatforming efforts often associated with older systems.

While InfoEd has been around for a while, many institutions are moving toward platforms that reduce administrative burden, improve adoption, and deliver faster access to actionable data by truly leveraging AI. Streamlyne’s unified architecture, AI-enhanced capabilities, and continuous modernization model position it as a more scalable, future-ready solution for institutions looking to move beyond the limitations of legacy systems.
For institutions seeking a modern, AI-enhanced platform with stronger usability, reporting, and a more unified experience, Streamlyne is increasingly the preferred direction.
