The Request for Proposals (RFP) process for the University's
implementation of the Drupal web content management system (CMS) is now
complete.
After issuing the RFP to more than 800 vendors, reviewing proposals and
interviewing and completing a thorough RFP process that included
representatives from multiple stakeholders, the University has signed a
contract with Palantir, <http://palantir.net>to develop the University's
enterprise Drupal environment.
Palantir will be on campus during the week of Sept. 2 to meet with
various stakeholders. During their visit, there will be a meeting open
to the campus community to provide a more detailed update on the project
status. The meeting is scheduled for 1--2:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5, in
Walter Library 402, and also will be available online for those unable
to attend in person athttps://umconnect.umn.edu/drupal.
In addition, the RFP included a search for a hosting provider. We are in
the final stages of negotiating the contract with a hosting provider,
and more information will be shared as soon as it is available.
