About this file

This is a technology systems inventory chart prepared for the State of Tennessee Department of Tourist Development in support of RFP #32601-26001 for comprehensive marketing and advertising services. The chart documents over 40 software platforms, tools, and digital assets currently utilized by the State to support tourism marketing, content management, analytics, social media engagement, and creative production. The technology ecosystem includes content management systems (Acquia-hosted Drupal CMS for TNVacation.com), analytics and intelligence platforms (Placer.ai, Adara, Arrivalist, AirDNA, Zartico, SMARI, GA4, Looker, and Adverity), social media management tools (Sprout Social, Meta Business Suite), digital asset management systems (CrowdRiff, Acquia DAM), customer relationship management (Granicus CRM), email marketing (Mailchimp), creative design resources (Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva), and specialized platforms for influencer discovery (Seeker IO), event data (Pollstar), media monitoring (MuckRack), and experience ticketing (Bandwango). Ownership of these systems is divided between the State of Tennessee and the incumbent contractor (VML/WPP Group USA), with shared access arrangements for multiple analytics and performance-tracking platforms.

The awarded contractor will gain access to this entire technology ecosystem at no additional cost and will assume management responsibilities for website content maintenance, digital asset management, and platform integration while maintaining compliance with data security and sovereignty requirements mandating that all State data and derivative works be stored exclusively in the continental United States and accessed only by U.S.-based resources. Several platforms, including branded fonts (TN Sans and custom fonts) and licenses for tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud, are owned or maintained by the State, while others maintain separate licensing arrangements that may be transferred or require new licensing agreements as part of the contract transition.
