TrustedPeer ECenter
“Innovation needs to be designed as a process from start to deployment that is supported by a software platform engineered to support the innovation process.” —Steve Blank
One Platform
Operating and scaling a center is hard if you’re still using spreadsheets, yellow stickies and a half dozen web applications. And, if you’re working with the greater community, how do you securely enable outside people to connect with your inside applications?
With ECenter, it’s all in one place. Program monitoring, advisor and mentor management, chat, scheduling, messaging with SMS option, even optional single sign-on. Integrated, secure, mobile-enabled and backed-up.
Integrated with industry-leading applications, including:
- Zoom, Skype Conferencing
- Dropbox, Google Drive Sharing
- Outlook, Apple, Google Calendars
- Google, InCommon, Shibboleth SAML SSO
