Online Education Growth The University of Idaho is expanding online and global learning, launching online courses for vector-borne diseases and extending farm and veteran training through its Extension programs. This signals strong demand for scalable online platforms and partner services across remote campuses and international audiences. Opportunities include LMS integration and management, course authoring, video hosting, assessments, accessibility compliance, translation, and remote proctoring.

Enterprise IT and Research With a large campus footprint and active research programs, the university has ongoing needs for IT modernization, data management, cybersecurity training, and advanced research computing. This presents opportunities for campus-wide ERP/SIS and CRM integrations, cybersecurity training platforms, cloud hosting, data analytics, and software licenses that support faculty, staff, and student success.

Sustainability Partnerships Sustainability achievements such as Tree Campus Higher Education reflect campus priorities around environmental impact, facilities management, and data reporting. This creates demand for energy management solutions, IoT-enabled campus sensing, environmental analytics dashboards, and reporting tools that align with sustainability goals and green procurement initiatives.

Health and Research Active health and epidemiology initiatives including online biology courses for global scientists point to opportunities in health data analytics, research collaboration platforms, and scalable online training for scientific communities. Potential fits include cloud-based data platforms, collaboration tools, and grant-friendly software for researchers.

Strategic Education Leadership changes at the university’s senior academic ranks create openings for faculty development, continuing education, and academic library support. This opens opportunities for professional development platforms, adaptive learning solutions for faculty, and library/research tools for law and other disciplines, as well as partnerships with education technology providers.
