Tenders Are Invited For Market Research For The Acquisition Of A Common Data Catalog In The Norwegian Public Roads Administration

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration Is Carrying Out This Market Survey As Part Of The Planning Of A Possible Acquisition Of A Joint Data Catalog For The Agency. The Purpose Is To Establish A Better Understanding Of The Supplier Market, Available Solutions And Possible Approaches To Realize A Comprehensive Capability For Data Catalog And Associated Data Management. The Market Research Will Provide A Better Basis For Assessing Alternative Solution Directions And Further Developing The Conceptual Approach That Has Been Laid As A Basis. It Will Also Help To Specify Needs And Clarify Which Prerequisites Must Be In Place For A Solution To Be Successful In Practice, Both Technically And Organisationally. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration Particularly Wants Insight Into How Solutions For Data Catalogs And Data Management Work In Complex Organizations Over Time. This Includes Experiences Related To The Introduction, Use, Maintenance And Further Development Of Such Solutions, As Well As The Challenges, Limitations And Conditions That Often Turn Out To Be More Demanding Than Expected. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration Manages Large Amounts Of Data That Are Used For Planning, Operation, Analysis, Management And Further Digitalisation. This Data Represents A Significant Value, But The Overview, Documentation And Management Of Data Is Currently Fragmented Across The Organisation. Information About Data Sets, Concepts, Responsibilities And Use Is Spread Across Several Systems, Local Solutions And Manual Overviews, And There Is No Comprehensive And Authoritative Overview Of Which Data The Agency Manages, What The Data Means, Or Which Conditions Apply To Use.
