BannerSUnited Consolidation Project
WHAT IS BANNERSUNITED?

In recognizing the need to provide students with similar experiences across campuses, SU System has consolidated its multiple Banner ERP Systems into a single, shared application that will result in a more efficient, consistent, and feature-rich student information system. The new consolidated platform with common course catalog, will enable students to move seamlessly between SU campuses. Cross-admissions and registration processes like the SU Connect program will be simplified. New interface between Banner and a newly consolidated Moodle LMS will provide seamless integration between the systems. Common business processes will enable campuses to collaborate and develop new ideas that will propel the University forward.

The consolidation of the Banner ERP system for all campuses is a significant step toward realization of a long-term benefit for the SU System, along with significant savings due to economies of scale. The much-anticipated SUS Consolidated Banner platform is coming on August 6, 2019.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

This effort is being driven by Legislative mandate to find ways to improve efficiencies and centralize back office operations to reduce costs. The Division of Information Technology will utilize the following guiding principles in support of this charge:

  • provide services to support the SUS mission through excellence in design, development, and application of information technology;
  • provide leadership and guidance in the use of information technology;
  • enable members of the University community to undertake instructional, research, administrative, and managerial tasks in an efficient and cost-effective manner; and
  • provide up-to-date technology, timely and reliable services in a fiscally responsible manner.

The centralization of the ERP systems across all campuses which house Student and Financial Aid modules is a significant step toward realization of a long-term benefit for the SU System. Improved business processes will be available to all campuses and savings due to economies of scale can benefit all.
