Case Study: University of Adelaide achieves compliance clarity and efficiency with Smartsheet

The University of Adelaide meets stringent compliance requirements with ease

The University of Adelaide needed a better way to collect compliance data from across the institution, document decisions, and manage strict defence and national security requirements. Using Smartsheet, the university set out to create a centralised system that could handle due diligence for foreign engagements while improving visibility, security, and efficiency.

Smartsheet helped the University of Adelaide build an automated Foreign Engagement Compliance Review System with forms, workflows, Data Shuttle, and Dynamic View. The result was less manual work, faster collaboration, real-time monitoring, and stronger data control, with the university reporting a 99.6% response rate for a required staff declaration and significant returns on investment.
