Framingham State University (FSU) is seeking information from qualified vendors regarding two interrelated solution areas: 1. Higher Education Data and Analytics Platform – a modern solution tailored for higher education to support centralized reporting, advanced analytics, and decision-making. 2. Data Catalog / Dictionary / Glossary – a metadata management solution that provides an enterprise-wide inventory of data assets, consistent business/functional definitions, and clear technical documentation. While there is overlap between these solutions, this Request for Information (RFI) asks that vendors address each area separately. Responses may describe integrated solutions or partnerships, but clarity of scope is essential. This RFI is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to purchase. Submissions will inform a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP) that Framingham State University intends to issue by no later than February 1, 2026.
