The best InfoEd alternative for research administration software
Purchasing an electronic research administration system is a big commitment, so you want to ensure you’re making the right choice. Many Cayuse customers have switched from InfoEd or chose Cayuse over InfoEd during the evaluation process. They told us Cayuse has several differentiating factors:
- An enterprise solution, made easy and intuitive
- Guaranteed on-time, on-budget implementation
- Connected platform
- Best-in-class support
- Strongest security in the industry
“After having InfoEd for 15 years yet never being fully implemented, we chose Cayuse because we knew their cloud solutions would serve us well into the future. Cayuse offered more features, flexibility, increased efficiency, and a more modern interface than any of the other five vendors we looked at during an extensive RFP process.”

An enterprise solution, made easy and intuitive
Cayuse software is fully deployed in the cloud, just like all the consumer apps you use every day—as opposed to InfoEd’s on-premise approach.
This approach drives:
Faster updates
In a recent RFP response, InfoEd states, “Every 18 months or so a major new version will be released.” Cayuse updates quarterly, helping you stay in compliance with latest government forms.
Access to new features
Our cloud infrastructure allows your software to always be up to date, without burdening IT teams to manage updates or install compounding patches to get to the latest version.
Cost savings
After implementation, overall savings of cloud-hosted software can be higher than hosting onsite.
The ability to work anywhere
Use our software anywhere with internet: at home, the airport, or a tropical beach—we won’t tell.
Less burden on your IT team
Your tech department doesn’t have to buy, maintain, or replace servers and other hardware.
Overall, our cloud-based technology enables us to be more agile and responsive to your needs and feature requests than vendors like InfoEd.
