"From a business continuity and cybersecurity standpoint, it’s a weight off my shoulders. We’re safe with Ellucian.”

“Students tell us they love the new search features. They love that they can build a plan and then register from that plan. They loved the options; they loved the layout.”

"We’re able to compile data from multiple systems, so we can analyze that data much easier."

“Our partnership with Ellucian is a huge win for the institution because of the depth of their expertise. The power and the breadth of what Ellucian brings to the table is infinitely greater than anything we could have done in-house.”

“It makes a big difference, having a great partner like Ellucian that you feel comfortable with, and that you have a good relationship with. We know that when we need them, they are there to step in anytime. I am a real fan of this partnership.”

"There’s a future with Ellucian. You’re focusing on big picture things that can revolutionize the way technology is used on campus."

"We had the challenge of figuring out how to bring student data from Banner into Jobspeaker. We have tens of thousands of students who would possibly be using this. Any current student might want to use it, but also alumni of the college would be eligible to use the platform."
