Hi Johnathan,
I have used the routing at a former institution and we are launching it, along with Cayuse Proposals, at LMU.
I love it. At LMU we were using AdobeSign, which got the job done. However, it requires so much manual processing, in terms of data collection for reports, where we are tracking information about submissions/awards/declines in unrelated spreadsheets, word of mouth, memory... Alternatively, Cayuse has all of that data in one place and reporting functionality.
For Deans, Chairs, and PIs they too can run reports in Cayuse (this might require single sign on) to see all the grants that they have approved for the school, department or themselves. This is something that really excites the Deans & Chairs.
The routing also allows you to add someone to the approval chain, if they were inadvertently forgotten. For AdobeSign we would need to reconfigure and relaunch the package for routing when there were any changes. Cayuse will allow someone to retract approval send it back to the PI for changes, then reroute.
So far, the consensus on campus has been favorable.
I hope this is helpful,
Angie

How do campuses that use Cayuse for their routing (approvals from PI, Chair, Dean, etc.) like it? Prior to Cayuse, how was your approval routing done?
