Executive Steering Committee Meeting |
From August 2023 to April 2024, the University of Texas at Dallas partnered with Kennedy & Co. on the University’s enterprise-wide CRM selection to identify CRM requirements and priorities, create a university-wide technological roadmap, and finalize an RFP for CRM vendor and implementation partner selection. This collaboration began with Kennedy & Co.'s response to an RFP issued by UT Dallas and was followed by extensive requirements gathering and RFP development for the subsequent vendor proposal process. After successful completion of the RFP process in March 2024, UT Dallas selected Attain Partners as the implementation partner for a Salesforce CRM solution. As UT Dallas began the implementation process with the selected technology and implementation vendors, Kennedy & Co. concluded their engagement in the CRM selection process.
