Tools include electronic records, configurable workflows, role-based approvals, traceable status histories, reporting, and dashboards for projects, budgets, timelines, and compliance metrics. The architecture includes application services for workflows, forms, rules, and security; integration services for APIs, jobs, and data exchange; and a data foundation for databases, warehouses, and documents. Listed connections include Epic, OnCore, Workday, PeopleSoft, Okta, MicroStrategy, Grants.gov, and SFTP/API. Users access the Microsoft Azure platform through a browser-based single-page application without local installation. Insight describes the platform as compliant with HIPAA and other certifications, with role-based access. Pricing is available on request.

OneRamp ERA Suite is a portal for institutions managing research administration requirements at federal, state, local, and institutional levels. Its modules cover pre-award proposal routing and management, conflict of interest reporting, IRB and IACUC protocol submission and review, biosafety compliance, and radiation safety. Optional sections include funding announcements, core facilities, research communications, and events; the company can also customize solutions or create modules. Users complete research administration forms and applications online and route them electronically for approval. The suite provides deadline and tracking reports, reporting by institution, college, or department, and process metrics. Automated reminders cover reviews, revisions, and required updates such as annual reviews. It also includes committee meeting management and committee reviews. OneRamp is available over an internet connection and designed for Android, iOS, desktop PCs, and tablets. The company says it pursued HECVAT and SOC-2 certifications, but does not state that either was achieved.
