A New Jersey college is seeking a vendor to provide a comprehensive data platform solution aimed at unifying and governing institutional data across multiple systems to enhance analytics, reporting, and predictive insights. The selected platform should enable data consolidation from diverse sources, including Ellucian Colleague (ERP), Instructure Canvas (LMS), EAB Navigate360 (Student Success), Salesforce CRM and Marketing Cloud, Anthology Engage, Ellucian Elevate, and Ellucian Recruit, into a centralized warehouse or lakehouse architecture.

Key requirements include strong data governance capabilities such as compliance management, audit logging, data lineage tracking, and robust role-based access control. The solution must also ensure interoperability with leading business intelligence tools like Power BI, SAP Business Objects, and Tableau. Additional expectations involve supporting near real-time or scheduled data refresh cycles, as well as providing data access for both raw and curated layers to maintain data portability and prevent vendor lock-in.

This initiative supports the institution's goal to democratize data access and foster a data-informed culture campus-wide.
