Description

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) SECHQ1-18-EAP INTRODUCTION The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Office of Information Technology (OIT) seeks product information for solutions described herein, offering non-manual (automated), efficient business intelligence, and analytics capabilities. The SEC is interested in identifying potential vendor products to provide data analysis, robust graphical visualization, drill down capabilities, creation of custom/standard reports, and enhanced dashboards. Potential vendor products should be Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) with minimal configuration necessary, to the maximum extent practicable. BACKGROUND: The SEC is an independent Federal agency established pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is headed by a bipartisan five-member Commission consisting of the Chairman and four Commissioners who are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The SEC is organized into five main divisions: Corporation Finance; Trading and Markets; Investment Management; Division of Economic and Risk Analysis; and Enforcement. The SEC's Divisions of Trading and Markets, Investment Management, Corporation Finance, and the Office of Compliance Investigations and Examinations regulate the securities industry. These organizations regulate the major securities market participants, receive filings and other information from regulated entities, and collect information during inspections and examinations. The SEC is currently operating in a computing and storage environment that is comprised of different data management technologies and capabilities. Currently SEC utilizes MicroStrategy, Business Objects, Tableau, SAS, Matlab, Palantir, and Stata to perform data analysis and visualizations. POTENTIAL FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES: The SEC requires a single enterprise analytics software platform that will assist with enabling more effective strategic, tactical, and operational insights and decision-making with previously unachievable speed and precision. The proposed solution shall: • Exhibit a highly flexible technology architecture; • Seamlessly integrate data from multiple sources into a single user interface, report or dashboard across multiple delivery channels; • Provide robust reporting, dashboarding and charting/graphing; • Provide data mining and predictive analysis; • Provide comprehensive data delivery capabilities across channels, users/roles and formats; • Provide analytics and reporting capabilities that enhance and augment the SEC's data integration, data quality, data accuracy, data warehousing, master data management, text and content analytics; • Provide robust real, near-time and historic analytic, dashboarding, scorecarding and visualization capabilities and promote collaboration through data sharing (including but not limited to strategic decision support, statistical analysis, mining, predictive analytics and modeling, business process modeling and complex event modeling); • Provide extensive reporting capabilities in support of strategic analytics to enable, achieve and monitor organizational goals at the enterprise or division/office level; • Provide metadata tagging of BI components to foster reuse; • Achieve fast and flexible data integration - data sources may need to be integrated in the analytic environment and analyzed with limited advanced notice; • Provide efficient and effective integration of multiple datasets of different formats and structures; • Augment and provide a standard business intelligence reporting, dashboarding and visualization portal leveraging the SEC's expansive data environment and enterprise data warehouse (EDW); • Provide a BI reporting and analytics capability that is: o Intuitive and easy to use; o Able to support Traditional and Agile development methodologies; o Content rich; o Able to promote and enforce data quality and accurate decision making; o Technically current; o Interactive; o Flexible; o Scalable (high volume, high availability, big data); o Capable (structured data); o Innovative; and o Value added. • Easily leverage and seamlessly integrate and adapt to current industry standards and accepted BI development methodologies; • Integrate, interface with, and leverage emerging technologies including (for example): o Mobile BI; o Social networking; o Data visualization; o Predictive analytics; o Multitouch; and o Open source. The processing of data, storage and analysis needs are expected to increase exponentially over the next two (2) to three (3) years. The SEC anticipates the need for advanced business intelligence reporting, data integration and an analytics platform that will serve as a central location for the management, storage, research, and analysis of mission-related data. The solution must provide a high level of data scalability and analytic flexibility while meeting the performance, availability, reliability and security requirements of the SEC. SEC envisions an enterprise platform which supports a variety of different user roles as part of the implementation at the SEC. These roles will facilitate the effective distribution of data throughout the organization by democratizing data access by end users of dashboards, visualizations and reports, empowering power-users to model, create and maintain a robust reporting and analytics framework for their end user communities, and providing IT administrators with the tools to effectively govern, monitor and load balance resources across the business intelligence installation.
