Current Research Information Systems

As the world’s first independent consulting and implementation partner for Current Research Information Systems (CRIS), AT-CRIS has fundamentally transformed the global CRIS market:

  • Because AT-CRIS neither develops nor sells a CRIS, we can provide independent consulting long before the procurement process begins—without any conflict of interest. We support our clients throughout the entire preparation phase, including current-state analysis, defining project objectives and framework conditions, data protection, requirements engineering, as well as process, data, and interface design. Having successfully guided numerous institutions through this phase, we have standardized many of these activities wherever possible. This helps our clients save time, reduce costs, and minimize project risks.
  • Since its foundation, AT-CRIS has introduced genuine competition to the CRIS implementation market. Universities and research institutions can now choose between implementation services offered by software vendors and those provided by AT-CRIS.

This vision shaped our company from the very beginning—and it continues to define who we are today:

AT-CRIS Expertise in Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) is second to none:

Higher education institutions and research organizations looking to professionalize or transform their Current Research Information Systems benefit from:

  • Our proven six-phase implementation methodology

  • A comprehensive toolkit that enables the efficient reuse of proven approaches and best practices

  • Experience gained from more than 110 successful CRIS consulting and implementation projects

  • Regional, national, and international implementation projects

  • Hands-on experience with nearly all established CRIS solutions—both open source and commercial

Software vendors rely on AT-CRIS expertise to:

  • To develop new products

  • To enhance existing solutions

  • To successfully carry out and complete their own projects

  • To meet client needs with AT-CRIS services

We will continue to advance the field of Current Research Information Systems, helping universities, higher education institutions, research organizations, and software vendors identify and implement the solutions that best meet their needs—regardless of the software platform.
