The Award Information Management System, known as AIMS grant management software, is an enterprise-wide system specifically designed for the needs of funding, grant, and award making organisations. AIMS is a complete end-to-end solution that controls every stage of the grant life cycle: grant makers can manage their entire award making process from initial request, through assessment and recommendations, to authorisation, payment and the subsequent reporting on KPIs, outcomes and overall impact.
AIMS is feature rich and highly configurable. It is a scalable platform designed to grow with your organisation.
