Research360 Overview
- 1. What is Research360? Research360 is the next generation of web-‐based data analysis and GIS solutions. Research360 is the only web-‐based software platform that allows a user to dynamically upload, aggregate, compare, rank, and map data on demand. How can Research360 benefit end-‐user organizations? Research360 saves time by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of data search efforts. This resource conveniently combines current datasets with cutting edge GIS mapping and technological capabilities allowing end-‐users to create data-‐oriented reports and maps to support decisions on asset and resource allocations as well as monitor regional progress in any number of metrics and measures. Rather than spending time and money gathering information from disparate, redundant, and often incompatible sources, Research 360 enables end-‐users to quickly extract data in report and graph format, conduct detailed benchmarking analysis, and ultimately assess the innovation capacity of a region and map regional assets through a single, consistent, interface. Finally, the speed by which the data and analysis are conducted along with the currency and up-‐to-‐ date information found in each section provides end-‐users with a robust platform on which to create and customize solutions to meet public AND private sector goals.
