Case Study: IHME modernizes planning and reporting with Kepion

Global Institute Elevates Impact of Health Research through Streamlined Planning & Reporting

IHME, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, is a global health research institute that needed a better way to manage growing budgeting, planning, and reporting demands. Its manual Excel-based processes and outdated legacy systems made it difficult to consolidate data, collaborate across teams, and create accurate multi-year proposal budgets at scale.

Kepion provided IHME with a cloud-based planning platform built on the Microsoft technology stack to unify financial planning, people allocation, forecasting, and enterprise reporting. With Kepion, IHME cut proposal preparation time by 66%, completed 3x more proposal budgets without adding staff, and redirected more than 3,000 hours from manual data collection to higher-value strategic work.
