InSoCal CONNECT Program Manager Carol Caldwell says Projecis provides the platform her organization needs to capture, organize and showcase opportunities for more than 400 innovative startups in Southwest Riverside, North County San Diego and Orange County. The cloud-based software also provides InSoCal CONNECT with project management features, including real-time Gantt charts depicting task percent complete and status updates, milestones and action items tracking, file sharing  and storage, a VoIP meeting center with call recording capability, and highly-effective email and calendar integration.  As the young organization grows its membership and community support, the software will become the main hub for centralized project news, information and knowledge.

"Projecis is going to be a huge part of our success as we work with UCR, CSUSM, and our numerous stakeholders to promote the 'Innovation Triangle' as a high-growth area for technologists, investors and entrepreneurs," said Caldwell. "It also helps us to provide status reports and milestones to our board, university partners, sponsors and members, as well as to delegate tasks, coordinate conference calls, and communicate about events and critical deadlines. I'm a real fan of the Projecis platform."

Projecis CEO Russ Holmes sees the platform as a natural fit for an organization that has big goals and is accountable to such a diverse constituency. "InSoCal CONNECT's mission and structure beg for a cloud-based platform such as Projecis" said Holmes. "As they continue to promote the region as a global player in tech transfer, high-value jobs, and entrepreneurism, we believe the coordination of resources, information, and support becomes extremely critical. Projecis will be there to help InSoCal CONNECT achieve success in their endeavors."
