Cloud Modernization The library's tech stack shows comfort with cloud and enterprise tools (Azure Data Factory, GitHub, Bloomreach, Adobe Sign, IBM WebSphere). Position as a managed cloud modernization partner offering data integration, dashboarding, and secure workflow automation to scale library operations with minimal in-house IT headcount.

Research Data Mgmt As part of a university ecosystem, there is opportunity to provide research data management, metadata, and archival services, aligning with campus data governance and grant requirements; offer data catalogs, repository integrations, and preservation workflows to support researchers and academics.

Digital Experience Bloomreach usage signals a focus on digital experiences; there is scope to enhance the library portal with advanced search, personalization, and accessibility improvements, plus integration of campus research news and digital collections to boost patron engagement.

Flexible Procurement With a very small team, the library benefits from flexible licensing, pilot programs, and managed services for legacy systems (such as IBM WebSphere) while gradually expanding to modern cloud-native solutions; propose a low-friction procurement path and tiered pricing for campus-wide deployment.

Campus Partnerships UMD's high-profile research breakthroughs and partnerships create opportunities for joint programs, sponsored data visualization and dissemination services, and curated research support offerings that drive library usage and visibility across campus.
