North Carolina universities are seeking a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for faculty workload planning and reporting. The desired platform should capture and report data related to faculty teaching, research, and creative activity, providing a standardized approach to calculating and recording faculty workload in teaching, research, and service across all universities in the system.

The implementation of this solution aims to streamline data collection, enhance methodological consistency, and strengthen workload data reliability. By adopting a unified system, the universities intend to reduce administrative burdens, improve efficiency, and facilitate compliance with reporting deadlines. Furthermore, establishing a consistent mechanism for data collection and analysis will support transparency, data-driven decision-making, and broader institutional planning.

The selected vendor will provide a SaaS platform that supports these objectives over a three-year contract period. This initiative will position the system office to better analyze workload patterns, assess resource requirements, and aid institutions in meeting their missions to serve the citizens of North Carolina.
