245 Ellucian Testimonials

"The market for top talent in higher education is more competitive than ever. We can’t simply let HR hire new employees and then leave it at that. We need a proactive strategy to develop and retain our best employees."

“Twice a semester we would do a mass mailing informing students about their payments and balances. There was a lot of back-and-forth emailing in between departments. Imagine how much manual work that required. With Banner, it is done automatically and all information—including all charges and payments—is being updated in Banner. As a result, students can pay online or make the bank transfer and can see their updated account balances any time through Banner self-service.”

"Colleague SaaS is more modern; it’s a more robust system than our old system. It gives us more flexibility as we move forward."

"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.”

“The upgrade to Banner 9 - following the move to cloud, was infinitely easier - from our perspective. Without the availability of global resource, we would have been looking at significant downtime for the platform to get those upgrades in place.”

“We’re getting a historically immense amount of data, all contained in Colleague. The system gets better by the day as new data is constantly being imported.”

“Bringing in Ellucian has been a godsend for us. Pretty quickly, we have upgraded the IT aspects of the campus in a way that really makes the whole operation function dramatically more effectively than it did before.”

“We have started recording this data from day one. I know that will make a big difference to the person who sits in my seat 10, 20 years from now. We’re trying to give good data for future fundraisers.”

"Ellucian CRM Recruit has made life easier for both staff and students. Our work is more efficient, our marketing more targeted, and our relationships with prospects stronger. All of this is reflected in the improved numbers for inquiries, applications, and enrollment."

“It’s that personalization that makes adult students feel like you understand their specific needs and have the bandwidth to support them as individuals. CRM Recruit allows UIW to provide all users with communication templates that save time and keep messaging consistent, but which can be easily customized for specific recipients.”

"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."

"Searching for courses in a particular program and seeing the schedule in a calendar view gives students a much simpler way to proceed through the steps and register."

“Having our university and culture embrace the Banner 9 concept was key to moving forward.”

"We had no central source for student information, and processes such as registration were manual, fragmented and time-consuming."
