ETF are therefore looking for a partner who can supply and deliver the following: - A data environment/database(s) central repository for all ETF including as the database for all Learning Management System (LMS) data - An environment that will store, clean, and transform data in an automated manner - Functional and effective integrations to ensure that data is passed through correct systems - Be a strategic partner to ensure that the ETF has a clear data technology roadmap and can gain the full benefit of its data

ETF is looking to elect one supplier as a long-term systems partner.
