245 Ellucian Testimonials

"We've really been able to get out of the keeping-the-lights-on business and move into the strategic-partner business."

“We’ve been able to bring all four colleges on board and have everyone collaborating together so that we’re all working to maximize the resources of the system and make improvements that benefit everyone. I welcome getting feedback about how we can improve. And that’s where we get that synergy to make the process even better.”

"Ever since Banner went live at Mt. SAC, our culture changed and shifted from a siloed to a collaborative approach. Banner touched every department. It changed the way we think, the way we communicate, and the way we approach our implementations."

"What Ellucian provides are foundational SaaS-enabled tools that support every single office on a campus."

"It involved several deans, the provost [and other individuals from her office], the registrar's office, and information technology services. It also was an opportunity for the registrar’s office to listen to the deans and get a good understanding of how their colleges function for purposes of optimization."

"We are not just doing Banner SaaS; we are doing Degree Works, we are going to Smart Plan, and we also have CRM Advise coming in as well."

"What CRM Advise does for us is it draws everything together into a very quick view that's available to everyone involved. More than that, it allows us to drill down on any particular area of student needs so that we can get a more granular view of what we need to position to support that student."

"We want our students to know that we're here to support them. Our goal is to be a true partner, helping them navigate the financial aid and student account processes as smoothly and efficiently as possible. A big part of our success relies on timely, effective communication. The Ellucian Student Financial Success communication tool helps provide students with the right information at the right time, empowering them to make informed decisions about financing their education."

"Our initiative has had tremendous success with students, faculty, and staff."

"We are excited to partner with Ellucian to modernize our enterprise systems. Banner SaaS provides us the opportunity to accelerate our transformation while minimizing disruption to our campus community.”

"Like I'm always saying, I don't want systems to manage us; I want us to manage systems. Ellucian is a very big help in doing that for us. With Ellucian managing our systems, we are providing more services to our clients."

"The turnaround time that we’re able to provide is the big win."

"I'm excited about this. I think it's going to be beneficial; I like where it's going."

"I now have real-time data showing me how many students are currently enrolled in a particular course, semester, year, or location and can make better management decisions on the fly. I’ve designed a report that works perfectly for my needs, and I can run it any time at the touch of a button."

"Before Colleague Reporting and Operating Analytics, we were constantly scrambling to assemble the right data in time, having to retrieve information from multiple sources, and struggling to ensure accuracy. We have now designed a variety of reports using reliable data collected and updated on an ongoing basis, not just when we need it."
