 Welcome to the e-Enterprise Center  Minimize Maximize  
 Welcome to the e-Enterprise Center

The e-Enterprise Center of Discovery Park offers a network of projects and investigators where your project can grow through access to resources and synergies with other larger scale projects as well as an infrastructure which may be a catalyst for research growth. We are proud to be Purdue University’s latest entrepreneurial option for the innovative mind.

By partnering a unique set of resources and specialized skills, the e-Enterprise Center can help you craft your vision from a successful proposal to full-scale startup project. What makes the e-Enterprise Center an exceptional organization is the people that assist this process, sharing and working toward your goal. Our highly experienced and expert staff provides many of the essentials in seeing your project through.

How does e-Enterprise work?
e-Enterprise facilitates research and discovery by operating as a fully staffed entity, specializing in providing three basic offerings:

Project Support: We are committed to providing professional startup project management and administrative support for the super projects directed through e-Enterprise. We can assist in the creation of the project plan, assistance in finding resources and tapping into other networks, as well as the adherence to the milestones in support of your overall goals.

Proposal Support: The e-Enterprise Center also maintains a library of previous proposals created through Discovery Park, as well as proposal “subroutines” and “boilerplate” that aid in the creation of new proposals, to help your proposal generate the best possible results.

Infrastructure: As successful projects develop, changing technical needs arise. Ordinarily, the economic burdens of these supports limit their feasibility when supported by a single project. The e-Enterprise Center is able to meet those technical needs by maintaining a server farm, supporting a number of technical platforms, and skilled application developers. Because projects tend to have similarity in needs, we are able to achieve economies of scope, which allow us to support multiple smaller initiatives simultaneously.
