WMATA is modernizing its legacy on-premises ERP system with a 370.0M program to implement modern, secure software across human capital management, financial management, procurement, and payroll. As of Q3 FY2026, 133.0M (36%) has been spent, the go/no-go decision on the new system was taken in December 2025, parallel payroll testing is underway, and the Human Capital Management and Payroll modules are scheduled to go live in June 2026, with Finance Management modules to follow in Summer 2027. The agency lists change management and user adoption as key risks and has planned a blended learning approach and additional contractor support around go-live to minimize disruption. While the primary ERP vendor is already selected, this large, staged implementation opens opportunities for firms that provide change management, training, integration to legacy systems, reporting and analytics, and ongoing support. Vendors can position around reducing go-live risk, enhancing reporting, or developing custom modules that sit on top of the new ERP platform.
Core ERP vendor is not named, but the program is mid-implementation with explicit emphasis on traini...

The Library Division Director’s report for July 9, 2026 includes “New Patron Laptops and Laptop Kiosk,” indicating that the library has recently acquired or is in the process of deploying new laptops and a kiosk system for public use. While the agenda does not name the hardware or software vendor, the framing as “new” suggests that a purchase decision has already been made or is underway rather than just being contemplated. This represents an IT implementation and may create follow-on needs such as device management, printing integration, security, maintenance, and future refresh cycles. IT vendors can use this as incumbent intelligence to identify what solutions might now be in place, and to offer complementary services such as support contracts, cybersecurity hardening, reservation/checkout software, or planning for eventual expansion and lifecycle replacement of the laptop fleet and kiosk system.
Primary purchase decision appears to be made; opportunities more likely in support, integration, and...
Southern Illinois University’s Board approved a three‑year Adobe Enterprise Term License Agreement for the entire SIU System, purchased through CDW Government, LLC under an IPHEC contract. The agreement, not to exceed 1750000 over three years, covers Creative Cloud, Acrobat, Adobe Sign, and shared device licenses used extensively in instruction, academic support, and administrative workflows. The decision maintains broad campus access rather than moving to limited per‑user licensing, which leadership concluded would be disruptive. For IT and EdTech vendors, this confirms Adobe as the entrenched content and document platform across SIUC (including the School of Medicine) and SIUE through roughly mid‑2029, and indicates ongoing needs around integration, training, accessibility, workflow automation, and potential complementary tools rather than replacement in the near term.
Funding will be proportionally allocated between SIUC (including School of Medicine) and SIUE via th...
The July 9, 2026 agenda calls for approval of a purchase of an Adobe Enterprise Term License Agreement for the Southern Illinois University system. This implies the university is standardizing or renewing Adobe Creative Cloud/Acrobat licensing across its campuses under an enterprise agreement. Because the item is framed as approval of purchase, the main licensing decision and likely reseller partner are already determined. For IT and software vendors, this is valuable as incumbent and term intelligence: there may be needs for deployment support, training for faculty and staff, integration with learning platforms, and planning for future renewals or potential consolidation with other software agreements.
The specific Adobe reseller or aggregator is not named, but Adobe is the core platform; likely a mul...
