Meet Amplifi
Provided by the Office of the Provost, AMPLIFI is based on the Academic Analytics' Faculty Insight platform and will be the new hub for faculty data designed to streamline and elevate the faculty evaluation and advancement experience.
The Implementation Plan - Overview
Texas A&M is modernizing the faculty evaluation, annual review, promotion and tenure processes through a faculty-informed implementation of AMPLIFI.
Beginning in August, the build and transition has been led by a Steering Committee and a Working Group guided by faculty leadership, Faculty Affairs, IT and administrative users to ensure the system reflects Texas A&M’s processes, policies and academic culture. AMPLIFI is based on Academic Analytics' Faculty Insight platform. It will replace Interfolio’s Promotion and Tenure and Faculty 180 modules.
The new platform is intended to reduce duplication, improve data quality and consistency, support annual evaluation and promotion and tenure workflows, and provide clearer support for faculty, departments and colleges.
While faculty hiring will remain in Interfolio, AMPLIFI will support promotion and tenure (beginning January 2027) and annual faculty evaluation processes (beginning in September 2027).
The implementation will include phased planning and communications, college-level engagement, training, user testing and feedback opportunities before broad adoption.
We are committed to transparency about what is changing, what is not changing, what adaptations have been made, and where faculty and administrative input can still shape implementation.
More information, including a detailed timeline for implementation is coming soon.

Let's Talk AMPLIFI Implementation: Appreciating Milestones, Performance, Leadership, and Impact through Faculty Insights
As Texas A&M implements Academic Analytics/Faculty Insight, department heads will play an important role in helping faculty understand the transition and navigate its impact on promotion and tenure, annual evaluation, and faculty activity reporting. In this Department Head Development Series session, Faculty Affairs will discuss AMPLIFI Implementation: Appreciating Milestones, Performance, Leadership, and Impact through Faculty Insights (an Academic Analytics platform). Highlights include the implementation process and its approach to data accuracy, platform customization for disciplinary differences, privacy, training, and faculty support. Participants will learn what is changing, what is not changing, and how the timeline will affect faculty and academic units. The session will also explore how Academic Analytics can help Texas A&M more fully document, affirm, and recognize the breadth of faculty excellence across disciplines. |
AMPLIFI Steering Committee - September 2026 Update
AMPLIFI Steering Committee | September 2026 Update
During its September meeting, the AMPLIFI Steering Committee reviewed progress toward implementing Texas A&M’s new faculty activity reporting and evaluation platform. Key developments included the submission of foundational faculty roster and organizational data, initial exploration of the platform’s Promotion and Tenure (P&T) workflows, and preparations for committee members to access and evaluate the system’s beta version.
The committee’s immediate priorities include identifying university data sources for automated integration, evaluating the transfer of existing faculty activity records from Interfolio, and determining which reporting fields and workflows best accommodate disciplinary differences. The implementation working group has begun developing P&T workflow options for the committee’s review, with an emphasis on simplifying processes and reducing administrative requirements. Hands-on training will further support committee members in evaluating system functionality and customization options.
This work supports the planned use of AMPLIFI for the 2027–28 P&T cycle and the targeted September 2027 availability of faculty activity reporting. Throughout implementation, the committee remains focused on data accuracy, faculty-informed system design and reducing the administrative burden on faculty and academic leaders.

AMPLIFI Steering Committee Update
The AMPLIFI Steering Committee continues to guide the phased implementation of Texas A&M’s new faculty activity reporting and evaluation platform, which will replace existing Interfolio processes. With the initial Promotion and Tenure functionality scheduled for January 2027 and Faculty Activity Reporting targeted for September 2027, the committee is reviewing implementation materials, identifying potential gaps and providing feedback on key decisions. Members are collaborating between monthly meetings to help ensure the platform reflects the diverse needs of faculty across colleges and disciplines, supports existing academic processes and minimizes administrative burden. This ongoing engagement is helping inform data migration, system configuration and implementation priorities as the university prepares for each phase of the transition.
