Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university's Emergency Operations Plan is nine years old and critically overdue for review, creating legal, planning, and grant eligibility risks. NIMS compliance requirements remain unmet, no Emergency Management Coordinator is identified, and a fragmented notification system compounds the preparedness gap.
The opportunity
A recent budget approval has opened a procurement window, and federal homeland security grant programs directly fund emergency management planning and technology. Acting now reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens campus safety outcomes, and aligns with cooperative purchasing vehicles that can accelerate procurement.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
SVSU operates a fragmented emergency notification environment, with a campus alert platform running separately from a county notification system, reducing coordination and reliability during incidents. This split infrastructure, combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan and NIMS compliance gaps, elevates operational, legal, and grant eligibility risk.
The opportunity
A recent budget approval has opened a procurement window, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition. Federal grant programs aligned with emergency management and campus public safety offer viable funding paths, making this an actionable opportunity within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Vehicle Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Campus Operations
High Priority
About this project
The university's campus vehicle fleet currently lacks telematics and dash cam coverage, creating liability exposure and limiting incident response capability. Without documented monitoring, the institution faces elevated safety risk and reduced ability to protect drivers, passengers, and the public.
The opportunity
Recent budget approvals and cooperative procurement vehicles such as Sourcewell and NASPO ValuePoint provide a streamlined, cost-effective path to deployment. Acting within the current procurement window reduces liability risk and supports responsible stewardship of institutional and public funds.

Discuss this project →Modernizing Campus Endpoint Management and IT Operations
IT Modernization · Higher Education Technology
High Priority
About this project
The university has identified critical gaps in enterprise endpoint management, with existing tools lacking adequate visibility, patching, and remote management across campus. These deficiencies elevate operational risk, reduce IT efficiency, and limit the institution's ability to maintain a secure and resilient technology environment.
The opportunity
A recent budget approval and the university's stated strategic technology priorities create a timely procurement window, with cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline acquisition. Grant-eligible solutions may qualify under federal programs supporting campus infrastructure, aligning well with the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Enterprise Password and Privileged Access Management
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The university lacks an enterprise-wide password management solution, leaving standard end-user credentials unprotected and creating significant credential security risk across campus. While a privileged access tool exists for a limited use case, the broader population remains uncovered, exposing the institution to potential data breaches and compliance gaps.
The opportunity
A current technology enhancement strategic initiative and recent budget activity create a near-term procurement window to close this gap. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, and addressing this now reduces institutional risk and supports responsible stewardship of university data assets.
