245 Ellucian Testimonials

“Most of our time is spent keeping the lights on. Moving Banner to SaaS would also open up bandwidth for IT so we can become consultants ourselves and be able to better assist the users.”

"The live data eliminates frustration and wait times for the students while saving our staff time by helping them work smarter."

“Technology will never stop changing, nor will the expectations of our end users—especially students. There aren’t many universities with the resources needed to support constant, rapid change without sacrificing cost-effectiveness or strategic focus. We are making sure that technology will enable, not limit, us wherever we need to go long term.”

"We had a successful implementation, and it really came down to the teamwork and effort of both Ellucian and the University of Idaho."

"We allow students to reserve rooms directly from MyUI in the library card. So we pull in that form, they can fill it out, show the availability of the room and when they can reserve it and for how long."

"The big thing, which Jason has mentioned, is that with [our older portal], all you get is links and there's no real digestible information directly on the page. MyUI fixes that and allows them to quickly see when deadlines are coming, when their homework is due; they don't have to log into Canvas to see when their homework is due then log into another portal to see when their classes are coming up. It's all on one page and I really think that's going to help students moving forward not miss assignments, not miss deadlines for graduation, things like that."

"Because the software is modular, we could prioritise the modules critical to launch while simultaneously developing a holistic, long-term strategy."

“That the project was successful under these circumstances is tantamount to a miracle, and was principally due to the exceptional expertise, dedication, and extraordinary effort of staff from Ellucian and the institutions."

"The primary advantage is that students can easily initiate a request to send their transcripts to a potential employer, university school admissions office or other recipients with an email address anywhere in the world the same day the order is placed."

"Whenever you mention Raise Me in a room full of students and parents, you see their faces light up. For an institution that doesn’t have a lot of money, and for transfer students that don’t get a lot of award funds to begin with, it’s really powerful."

"We were obviously glad to land with Ellucian, and through project management and implementation, they were there for us."

"The previous platform is a legacy platform that has not kept up with the developments that would facilitate the teaching and learning needs of the organization. We have a system that has been really stagnant for the last 20 years. We recently came up with a technology plan that aspires to ensure that we have a 21st-century technology infrastructure that allows us and our students to expand our potential and experience, and what we have right now is not something that is capturing that."

"I think a lot of institutions should implement an IT governance model, and they will realize, as did Brookdale, how it was the one, important element that was missing."

"We wanted to clear away the clouds and identify the technology that was most important. The plan would help us map expectations to our strategic plan so that we could rank projects accordingly.”

"Everything we do, we have got to try and do it in a way that maximises an individual student’s time on campus, to really leverage this, and at the same time enable students to take the campus with them and access all the services they need when off-site.”
