Questions to Ask

  • If yes, Dynamic Profile+ is the best option.

Do you want to add institution-specific data (beyond the standard 12 fields)?

  • If yes, PIP is the best option.

Do multiple groups use your InfoReady site?

  • If yes, consult with all involved to compare needs and decide on the best solution.
