Common questions
Common questions about Streamlyne vs InfoEd Global
Is Streamlyne the same product as Kuali Coeus or Kuali Research?
+
No, but they're related. Streamlyne Research is a separate commercial distribution built on the same open-source Kuali Coeus codebase that also underlies Kuali Research (operated by KualiCo). Streamlyne Inc. provides its own hosting, implementation, and ongoing development on top of that shared open-source base, so the two are distinct commercial products with a common technical ancestor rather than the same product under two names.
Does InfoEd Global cover clinical trials and technology transfer in the same system as grants management?
+
InfoEd markets dedicated Clinical Trials and Technology Transfer product areas alongside its Grants & Contracts area, positioned as part of one integrated suite. Neither is a core, publicly described product line for Streamlyne, which is scoped mainly to pre-award, award, and research-compliance functions.
Which platform has more institutions using it?
+
InfoEd Global has the longer operating history (founded 1991) and a broader publicly described customer base spanning universities, academic medical centers, and corporations. Streamlyne is a newer commercial entrant with a growing but smaller publicly documented adopter base. Neither vendor publishes a precise, independently verifiable total institution count.
