Marshall University is seeking expressions of interest from qualified vendors to assist in the development of a comprehensive Data Management and Data Governance Strategy. The selected partner will be expected to conduct a thorough assessment of the university’s current data environment, including governance practices, data quality, reporting capabilities, and supporting technologies. Based on this assessment, the vendor will provide strategic recommendations to establish a robust data governance framework and a scalable data management approach. This engagement should also include the identification of a modern technology solution to support enterprise-wide data integration, reporting, and analytics. Furthermore, the strategy should lay a solid foundation to enable future artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives by ensuring data is accessible, accurate, and ethically governed. We invite interested parties to submit a proposal outlining their approach, timeline, and estimated cost for delivering these services. (“The Project”)
