"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 needed a partner who could support the entire spectrum of grant activity, not just write a grant. I am not aware of any other vendor that has the background and flexibility to do what Ellucian does in the area of grant services."
"We were obviously glad to land with Ellucian, and through project management and implementation, they were there for us."
“While the word nimble has been used to death, hosting makes us more nimble, because we’ve been able to accomplish a lot more, a lot faster, than if we’d been doing it on our own.”
“All the colleges now use the same catalog, same naming conventions, and same data standards. That way, we’re truly comparing headcount in service programs at every institution on a one-to-one basis, as opposed to doing it 25 different ways.”
"The integration between Colleague and Elevate was our number one priority. That’s why we selected Elevate."
"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.”
"Because the software is modular, we could prioritise the modules critical to launch while simultaneously developing a holistic, long-term strategy."
"That alone was a major shift. It allowed us to be much more strategic in the way that we operate here. We no longer have to focus on our ability to deliver infrastructure and keep all these applications running—we do that in partnership now with our Ellucian Cloud Service delivery team."
“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."
"Registration is more than an administrative process. You need to give students an integrated tool that allows them to search courses or faculty and the ability to see their schedule with visuals."
"If I could give any other institution advice about Banner 9, it would be this: Don’t put off implementation. It serves your students well."
"Everyone is expecting to get information at their fingertips—and not just during office hours, and not just when they can speak to someone."
"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 chose CRM Advance because we were looking for technology that was built today but had a future for tomorrow."
