The State of North Carolina is developing plans to enhance and modernize student engagement and enrollment infrastructure across the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS). As part of this effort, the NCCCSO Programs and Student Services Division is exploring scalable solutions that enable a more personalized, efficient, and data-informed approach to recruitment and student lifecycle management, while also supporting consistency and alignment across institutions.This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to collect information and recommendations regarding Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions that provide enhanced functionality for communications, event management, application submission, workflow automation, and data analytics aligned with the full student lifecycle (recruitment through completion). This includes capabilities that support colleges’ engagement with businesses, employers, and external partners, such as workforce outreach, work-based learning coordination, and ongoing employer relationship management. The RFI also seeks insight into implementation approaches that can be standardized and scaled, integration capabilities across common enterprise systems, and best practices for supporting colleges at varying levels of CRM maturity within a unified framework.
