The company offers software that manages the financial, personnel and grant (money) management software for college, university, research and healthcare administrators.

IT Works publishes Effort Administrator, a web application that automates the tracking of research effort (performance measurement) for the purpose of justifying and administering research grants.[6]

Jim Wrenn, the company's original founder, presently serves as the CEO. Wrenn holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Technology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and has spent his career managing the creation of facility and human resources management software for public institutions such as universities and hospitals.[7]
Research Institution Success Stories/Product Development
The nation's leading research institutions, research universities and other research centers have achieved a more accurate, streamlined process with grant management, financial and database software applications.[8]
IT Works participates in several trade shows each year to receive feedback from people who have ideas on grant management, financial and database software applications.[9] The company develops new products based upon client feedback.
