Overview

WebGrants is a full life-cycle grants management system that can be implemented quickly and easily by either DTPi or the client themselves. The software can be hosted by either the client or by DTPi. The basic WebGrants system typically supports about 80%-90% of a client's business and functional needs "out of the box". The remaining functionality can be developed by the client using the built in form creator interface. Some system customizations may require DTPi support such as system integration; however the vast majority of the customization including form development can be developed by the client independently. DTPi offers professional services to aid the client in their implementation.

Do not be misled into believing that because WebGrants is easy to customize it must not be very sophisticated or support diverse business requirements. On the contrary, WebGrants is an extremely powerful business tool that is used by the Federal government and also supports state-wide grants management functions for several US states.
