Endpoint Device Standardization & System-Wide IT Management
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
TBR has issued an active RFI (27-0013) for endpoint device standardization with a response deadline of August 5, 2026, driven by compliance mandates and the absence of a unified, system-wide endpoint management solution. Without standardization, campuses face elevated cybersecurity exposure, inconsistent service delivery, and operational inefficiency across the system.
The opportunity
TBR's approved $1.6 billion FY 2026-27 operating budget includes increased technology-access fees earmarked for campus upgrades, providing a clear funding pathway aligned to this initiative. Cooperative purchasing options are confirmed, enabling streamlined acquisition before the RFI deadline and supporting system-wide modernization goals.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
TBR lacks a publicly identified system-wide Emergency Operations Plan, relies on fragmented mass notification deployed at individual institutions rather than across the system, and has no documented system-wide exercises or audits. The statewide mass-notification contract expires December 14, 2026, creating an active and time-bound renewal or replacement decision with direct implications for campus safety and incident response continuity.
The opportunity
The December 2026 contract expiration establishes a firm near-term decision point, and TBR's approved FY 2026–27 capital outlay requests explicitly include public safety and emergency response facilities. Acting within this budget cycle enables system-wide EOC coordination, unified incident workflows, and consolidated notification coverage—strengthening compliance posture and campus safety outcomes across all constituent institutions. Sourcewell cooperative purchasing is confirmed, supporting an accelerated and cost-effective procurement path.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
TBR faces an ongoing WCAG/ADA compliance mandate for its web and digital services, with identified gaps that expose the institution to legal and accessibility risk. Active strategic initiatives around accessible digital services underscore the operational urgency of closing these gaps across the system.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility compliance aligns with TBR's current digital services strategic initiative and the FY 2026–27 budget cycle, supporting streamlined procurement through established cooperative purchasing vehicles. Acting now reduces legal exposure and advances equitable access to digital services for all students and staff.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Risk Assessment
Fleet Management · Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
TBR lacks documented fleet telematics and consolidated incident metrics system-wide, creating a measurable risk-management gap. Without centralized visibility into fleet operations, the institution has limited ability to proactively identify safety trends or support data-informed transportation decisions.
The opportunity
Addressing this gap during the current planning cycle positions TBR to reduce long-term liability exposure and strengthen operational oversight before incidents or insurance pressures create urgency. Proactive investment in fleet visibility supports responsible stewardship of public assets and institutional risk management.
