245 Ellucian Testimonials

“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.”

“Launching a mobile platform is a ton of work. Unlike us, Ellucian has a whole team to devote to mobile. It was great to have a solution in a single package that provided a platform to build on.”

"We get more done now, more efficiently, more quickly than we ever did before.”

"Ellucian Experience came along at the perfect time."

"Being able to leverage and adapt quickly is a big draw for us."

"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."

"It is great to see how the system is allowing staff and faculty to work together to help students. People are coming together and providing student assistance more proactively."

"Using Ethos has eliminated the need for using the antiquated 'paper-and-pen' approach when it comes to student evaluations and choosing to opt out of the textbook rental program, as that's how it had been done prior to adopting Ethos. The opt-out form] was created to make the student experience easier and I think it accomplished that."

"Administrative staff appreciates that the Ethos connection allows our student course evaluation software, SmartEvals, to be virtually hands-off. The Ethos upload automatically keeps the rosters, sections, and faculty information up-to-date. All that's left is for the system to send out the evaluations to the correct students on the preset days."

"When we have third-party vendors that have worked with Ethos, they can say 'Oh yeah, we're confident that it works; it's just plug-and-play from here on out,' that's been nice."

“The investment that Ellucian has made in application development tools and knowledge transfer of Banner implementation and maintenance processes to the University of Illinois means that we are able to perform regular upgrades on our own, without costly 3rd party systems integrators. This is a critical aspect to reducing total cost of ownership for us.”

"Through this partnership with Ellucian, our faculty and program directors have been successful in creating graduate programs that are true to the YU mission."

“With Ellucian, we feel that it’s more of a partnership versus a vendor/client relationship. And the way Ellucian structures its relationship with clients mirrors a higher education environment: there’s a sense of ‘shared governance,’ which institutions value.”

"Smart Plan reduced manual workload for our advisers and is teaching our students to be more self-sufficient."

“Ellucian, as a company, has access to resources and people we can’t always get here in Abilene, Texas. They can better afford to train and compensate a pool of database administrators.”
