"It was very, very important that we got a system that was up-to-date, a system that was more this century, mobile-friendly—be able to use it on the phone, on the iPad, or whatever you are using—user friendly, and able to learn the system very easily and quickly was very, very important."
“By bringing three databases into one, licensing, databases and infrastructure management is much smoother than before. Having now reduced the number of servers needed for the full implementation for the three entities by approximately 60 percent, there is also a huge operational cost-saving aspect.”
“I know that it was very time consuming for our colleagues from the Registrar’s Office to manually enter the records to their system. Now all we need to do is to change the admission decision in Banner. An integrated system across all university functions greatly improves efficiency.”
"I think this is something a lot of institutions will eventually adopt. The benefits are just too great."
"Our students register online, pay their bills online, check grades online. It lets them be much more self-sufficient."
"Because the software is modular, we could prioritise the modules critical to launch while simultaneously developing a holistic, long-term strategy."
"We had the challenge of figuring out how to bring student data from Banner into Jobspeaker. We have tens of thousands of students who would possibly be using this. Any current student might want to use it, but also alumni of the college would be eligible to use the platform."
"We can’t just look at one or two criteria in student success anymore."
“Though it is easy to point to consistent five-star customer satisfaction ratings, what is more impressive is the way that every aspect of campus life has improved with having Ellucian as part of our team.”
"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.”
"Ellucian is at the table every day helping to shape decisions. IT has become a strategic partner, and technology is well-positioned to become one of our most effective long-term assets."
“As a community college, we have an incredibly diverse student population. We will never achieve a one-size-fits-all technology solution. But, we also have limited resources and must use them wisely. Ellucian has helped us figure out when it’s appropriate to invest in state of the art technology and when it’s just as effective to make less costly upgrades to existing systems and tools.”
“Ellucian offers the resources and expertise needed to effect change on multiple fronts simultaneously without jeopardizing our timeline. This is a capacity the college would not have been able to build on its own in a timely or cost-effective manner. They are the best in their field and that’s enabling us to rise to the top of our own.”
"The analytics tool has absolutely fulfilled the promise that I was hoping for, which is to give us a single pane of glass through which to view our data. It has helped us see what we need to do, where our data is flawed, where it should be adjusted, and what we need to do in terms of practice and policy updates. All of that has helped drive us forward."
