IT Modernization Boise State maintains a sizable on campus IT footprint with virtualization and Red Hat infrastructure and collaborative tools such as Slack and Google Drive. This creates demand for integrated cloud modernization, cybersecurity hardening, data protection, and identity governance. There is opportunity to offer managed cloud services, security assessments, and IT modernization packages tailored to large public universities, plus integrations of Cascade CMS with collaboration tools and content workflows.

Research Partnerships Recent research initiatives include portable PFAS detectors, indicating a strength in environmental health tech and data-intensive projects. This opens avenues for instrumentation sales, LIMS and data management platforms, sensor integration, IoT data pipelines, and analytics or HPC support to speed research and compliance reporting.

Athletics Enablement Athletics program changes including a new head coach suggest ongoing needs for performance analytics, recruitment CRM, scheduling and marketing tools, as well as operations management software for facilities, travel, and equipment management. Partnerships with vendors that support NCAA programs could be valuable.

Community Impact Active community engagement and a social impact competition show opportunities for partnerships in event management, community partnerships, fundraising platforms, volunteer coordination, and alumni engagement systems that connect students to real-world challenges and sponsorships.

Leadership & Transformation Leadership transition often drives strategic IT and campus modernization initiatives, presenting chances to engage in digital transformation projects, integration across departments, grant management, research administration software, and long-term IT strategy consulting and implementation programs.
