The Challenge:
The National Foreign Language Center (NFLC) needed a custom solution to redesign its outdated grant application system (OPIS) and public website. The existing design had performance and scalability issues, making modifications difficult. As a form-driven system, it did not provide easy access to data for analysis and reporting. With a focus on creating a data-driven, integrated systems solution, NFLC requested a scalable and efficient online program information system, web applications, and operations management tools with improved search functionality for its public website. The goal was to provide a streamlined user experience and user interface for grant applicants and NFLC staff.
