Two Top 20 Pharma Companies Just Ditched Their Legacy Grants System

 Five adults stand close together indoors, smiling and laughing. One person holds a white mug. The group’s body language suggests camaraderie in a casual or professional setting.Grants teams know the drill. Spreadsheets everywhere. A grants management system that was not built for pharmaceutical companies. Nobody can see the full picture.

Two top 20 global pharmaceutical companies just decided they were done with that. Both are now live on Mavens® Research & Grants Cloud.

One is running Investigator Sponsored Research end to end. The other is using it for medical education, research collaboration, quality improvement, fellowships, and expanded access. Same product. Built to work how your team actually works to launch and edit programs instantly with no code.


No More Choosing Between Rigid Platforms And Complex Builds

They can now handle all request types they want with:

  • A modernized workflow, concept to conclusion. No more duct tape between systems. One path from idea to study to close-out. Full audit trail.
  • Permissioning that actually matches how the org runs. Sharing and access rules configured to the company’s structure, not forced into someone else’s.
  • A streamlined Requester portal with passwordless login. No friction, no lost credentials, no support tickets to reset a password.

Research & Grants Cloud is built on 15+ years of life sciences expertise and built on Salesforce. It’s replacing the grants management and funding management systems most teams are stuck with. Now teams can launch and edit programs instantly with no-code updates. They can scale fast without adding extra vendor cost or IT overhead.

Two Deployments, Two Different Use Cases

One customer needed one thing done right: Investigator Sponsored Research, end to end. The team building the product and the team implementing it worked side by side, in real time, so the customer’s feedback shaped the product.

They got a solution tuned to how their ISR program actually runs, not a generic template they had to bend around. That doesn’t stop at go-live, either — we have a virtual roadmap that customers can give their feedback on asynchronously and run regular feedback sessions with the teams actually using the product, so every release gets sharper based on real usage, not guesswork.

Another customer wanted the solution to handle every request type. One unified funding management solution, that covers medical education, research collaboration, quality improvement, fellowship, expanded access. Years of legacy data, documents, and in-flight requests moved over without losing continuity. Enterprise integrations connect it to the rest of the tech stack, with workflows, approvals, budgets, payments, and reporting all running end to end, automatically.

Both customers are live now. Together, they show a platform shaped by real teams, proven at scale. Whether you need a single focused program or a full unified system across every request type.


What Could Unified Grants Management Look Like For Your Team?

Two top 20 pharmaceutical companies just proved it’s possible to move off legacy grants systems without slowing down. If your team is still stitching together spreadsheets and not-quite-the-right-fit tools, there’s a better way to work.
