As we officially enter the holiday season, we are thankful for all that we’ve been able to accomplish this year. 2021 has been a long and challenging year. Like most companies, none of our success would be possible without the terrific work our team delivers day in, day out. 

Over the years, SmartSimple Cloud has empowered organizations globally by helping them solve their complex operational process challenges. With new functionality added regularly, there are more settings and options to help organizations work more efficiently and impactfully.

Our November 2021 upgrade is fast approaching and we want to share important changes with you. These changes affect the platform's User Interface (UI) and may have a direct impact on your users.

2020 and 2021 have been extremely challenging for all of us. A global pandemic, the adoption of remote work, and taking the precautions necessary to keep friends and family safe have exhausted many of us.

SmartSimple acknowledges this and has invested heavily in the health and well-being of all employees. Key initiatives include reduced summer hours, a "work doula," monthly mental health all-company huddles, and now – Global Recharge Week – for all SmartSimple staff.

At SmartSimple Software, our day-in-day-out goal is to simplify granting and research processes, from the application stage right through to reviews, approvals, and outcomes reporting. We’re pleased to announce yet another big step toward that goal: SmartSimple Software has officially been recognized as an ORCID Certified Service Provider. Read the full press release.

Scientific researchers and research funders alike are familiar with ORCID’s identification system, which assigns a unique ID to every researcher, and connects this ID to a researcher’s pertinent information and output: publications, citations, grants, employment, and more.
