‘I believe Quadrant is the way of the
future and I am pleased to move on
from the endless files of information,
tedious processes of team
communication and wasted hours of
tracking needed information.’
- Associate Professor Pam McGrath,
Griffith University
‘Since we are a multi-institutional
centre, the biggest benefit from using
Quadrant is to have one central place
where we feel confident saving all our
data and that we are able to share data
among our team and our nominated
partners.’
- Dr Tina Janamian, APHCRI Centre of
Research Excellence
‘I often think of managing research
projects as a juggling act and the
challenge is always to avoid ‘dropping a
ball.’ With Quadrant I never drop a ball,
it keeps me totally organised.’
- Nicole Rawson, Griffith University
