The institution is seeking a vendor to provide a comprehensive data warehouse, data utilization, and analytics platform. The selected solution should enhance data utilization across all institutional functions, including academic, student support, enrollment, and institutional effectiveness. The platform must enable consistent decision-making and facilitate coordinated action between faculty, advisors, student affairs, enrollment management, academic leadership, and other authorized stakeholders.

The solution should support a broad range of analyses, such as retention, persistence, course success, developmental education outcomes, three-year graduation rates, and similar metrics, with the ability to disaggregate data by student subgroups. It should also provide tools to strengthen proactive student support through early identification of risk indicators—leveraging historical and current-term data including course performance, withdrawal history, credit accumulation, developmental placement, and LMS (Blackboard) engagement as available.

The platform must integrate degree planning or audit data, showing progress toward credential achievement for both individuals and groups. Integration capabilities are required for Colleague SaaS, Blackboard, Student Planning, National Student Clearinghouse, and other relevant data sources. A centralized analytics environment with clearly defined data models and embedded data quality monitoring to ensure data integrity is essential.
