Solution Advantages

■  Fully Managed: In addition to the resource efficiency, flexibility and cost cutting benefits detailed in our whitepapers and case studies, the solution eliminates the need for you to worry about the day-to-day management of research sites sitting on our facilities, allowing you to spend your time and resources on the science of your research.

■  Accurate, Timely Reporting:  Our research associates provide you with timely scheduled and on-demand updates and raw data from your research sites in various raw and multimedia formats and transmission methods that suit your project requirements via our secure internal data management system. Along regular reports, researchers receive free, real-time consultations with site managers to answer any questions or concerns that may arise.

■  Round-the-clock Security:  We understand that intrusion or unauthorized access can affect the reliability of your data, and, therefore, your findings and conclusions. We provide 24/7 intrusion protection for your research activities that are located on our premises.

■  Glocal: Local expertise, global reach. Even if we'll set up your research sites primarily on Uganda's stable tropical agroecosystem, you can engage our services regardless of where in the world your tesearch team is stationed.
