Buy or build RIMS

Proactively managing research information is both increasingly important and increasingly complex. Likewise, so are the number of complicated tools designed to help with effective and efficient management.

When considering these tools, a primary question to answer is whether you should buy a commercial product such as Elsevier’s Pure or build it yourself using available open-source systems.

To help answer this question, we engaged analysts from Knowledge E 在新的选项卡/窗口中打开 to determine the Buy or Build costs.

Pure provides 70% added value over DIY

You can further reduce TCO for a RIMS solution

Based on the research with universities that implemented DIY and Pure solutions, participants reduced their TCO of Pure up to 50% by following these recommendations:

  • Buy instead of build

  • Host in the cloud

  • Prepare before implementation

  • Implement and roll out in stages

  • Streamline the upgrade process

  • Apply best practices from other institutions

Pure customers see benefits

You receive many benefits from having a RIMS system. Here are a few examples from Pure customers.

Increase international collaboration

The Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) in India implemented Pure and made their research visible to a global audience. As the first Pure installation in India, MAHE anticipated unique challenges but discovered that Pure easily met their needs.

Provide stability & reliability with customization

RTI International’s move from their DIY solution to Pure provided the right balance of a stable and reliable solution and customization. Partnering their small, empowered internal team with a Pure project manager resulted in a smooth and rapid implementation.

Manage growing research outputs

When the Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM) pursued a new direction as a research university, they needed a system to manage their small but rapidly growing research output (~40% increase per year). They selected Pure and, with dedicated implementation support from the Pure team, had a smooth transition.
