Scholarly Benchmarking Solution

Clemson University seeks a comprehensive, high‑usability software suite that will serve as a centralized database, visualization platform, and reporting tool for tracking and benchmarking the scholarly output of individual university scholars. The solution must accommodate data collection, analytics, and user‑friendly reporting to support strategic decision‑making across the institution. The university will provide a detailed Scope of Work through its online bidding system, and proposals must align with those specifications. • Develop a database architecture that treats each scholar as a unique record and integrates diverse research metrics. • Create interactive dashboards and visualizations for comparative benchmarking across departments, colleges, and external institutions. • Deliver robust reporting capabilities, including custom report generation, export functions, and data security/compliance features. • Provide user‑experience design focused on accessibility and ease of navigation for faculty, administrators, and analysts. • Include implementation, training, and ongoing support plans as part of the proposal.
