This document discusses how Wellspring provides cloud-based tools to help organizations manage their knowledge assets and knowledge supply chain developed through sponsored research and innovation. It notes that current methods lead to inefficiencies like duplicate work and lost knowledge. Wellspring's Sophia platform is an enterprise software that provides configurable modules to help organizations navigate the entire research process from pre-award through post-award, intellectual property, and knowledge dissemination in a centralized, collaborative manner. A demonstration shows how Sophia gives full access and visibility to proposal, financial, compliance and clinical trial information.
