Description
The State of South Carolina is seeking information from vendors to implement a pilot program for a centralized financial oversight system for the state's 16 technical colleges. The system should standardize data, detect anomalies using AI, and provide plain-language financial insights. The pilot program is required by Proviso 93.22, and the department is seeking information on the feasibility and potential costs of such a system. The key requirements of the pilot program include:
• Standardizing data across all colleges
• Detecting anomalies using AI
• Providing plain-language financial insights
• Supporting multi-campus, multi-fiscal-year data with secure role-based access
• Granting the department top-level oversight to view aggregated data in real time
The department is seeking responses to a series of questions, including the clarity and reasonableness of the requirements, potential costs, and risks associated with the pilot program.
