DESCRIPTION


The university seeks a vendor to provide a unified, enterprise-wide mass email and digital communications platform. The solution must be scalable, secure, compliant, and cost-effective, supporting campuswide announcements, departmental updates, constituent engagement, and automated transactional messaging.

The platform should centralize mass email communications across the university, standardize branding, templates, and governance, and improve deliverability, reliability, tracking, and analytics. It should also reduce total cost of ownership by consolidating duplicative tools while allowing departments configurable autonomy through role-based access controls.

The solution must integrate seamlessly with identity systems, customer relationship management platforms, and student information systems. The contract period will be three years, and all questions must be submitted no later than August 17, 2026.
