Ï㽶´«Ã½

Ï㽶´«Ã½â€™s current onpremise Banner environment requires increasing institutional effort to maintain infrastructure, apply patches, manage security risks, and support upgrades.

Transitioning to Banner SaaS shifts infrastructure responsibility to Ellucian while allowing Ï㽶´«Ã½ to retain control over business processes and data. This change improves sustainability, reduces longterm technical risk, and aligns the institution with Ellucian’s supported ERP platform.
