FAQ

Banner Modernization FAQ

Here's a small list of frequently asked questions about Banner Modernization. If your question isn't answered here, let's chat.

How long does it take to apply an Ellucian Banner update or bring my system current?

The answer depends on a few factors:

  • How far behind are you?
  • How customized is your environment?
  • Are you on a Banner version that is supported by the latest update?
  • Do you have resources ready and available to participate in code retrofit and testing?
  • That said, many organizations are able to apply a full Banner update or bring their system current within a 90-day project or less.
What is involved in a Banner health check?

We engage with you to understand your environment, its platform, how it has been configured, the modules you are running, the general operating procedures for your organization's use of Banner, and any pain points you may be experiencing. With those inputs, we are able to compare your experience with that of an ideal experience to provide you with a listing of areas for improvement arranged by impact and cost.

If desired, from that point, we could also be engaged to help you create and execute a plan to address the improvement points discovered.

What is Banner Modernization?

Banner Modernization is defined differently for each organization. For some, it may be to find a way to reduce customization; for others, it might be about implementing new modules; for a different customer, it might be about taking advantage of the latest enhancements; and for others, it might be about getting off of old hardware onto something more sustainable for the long term. Whatever your objective is, Astute Business Solutions would love to lend its experience and skill to help you define and execute your version of Banner modernization.
