About Ellucian Banner

Ellucian Banner Finance is a cloud-based financial management software designed to help accounting teams in higher education manage procurement, fixed assets, accounts receivables, general ledgers, and more from a unified platform. With the finance query module, staff members can utilize a visual dashboard to view spend analysis, and save or share specific queries, facilitating collaboration.

Ellucian Banner Finance enables organizations to manage accounting processes through forecasting, budgeting, and other financial tools. It lets employees create, copy, search, view, and track requisitions across the entire approval queue with information such as assigned buyers and associated purchase orders. Also, account managers can access the research and grants module to streamline the entire grants management process from initial proposal generation to project closing.

Ellucian Banner Finance enables financial teams to access, process, copy, reverse, and delete journal vouchers, including budgets, transactions, or encumbrances. Administrators can create and access regulatory reports for financial statements, such as Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

This software has allowed me to be very efficient with my work as I am able to identify any accounting issues that may arise. Additionally, the system makes it very easy to look at prior fiscal years, which is a very large benefit when our auditors are asking for that information.

Pros

This software, and the newest update, has made accounting a breeze. The financial system allows me to easily see where any reconciling item may be, and allows me reference codes so I may gather further detail. The new capability of using Chrome is a great feature as well because our entire organization is comfortable with the format.

Cons

My only con would be that on some screens I am not able to copy certain data, which requires me to manually input the data. This is a small complaint because it is minimal amounts of typing.

The best platform to manage employees data.

Reviewed on 2024/02/19

Pros

This program provides a centralized database for storing all employee-related information, including personal details, employment history, benefits, payroll information, and performance evaluations. This centralized approach streamlines HR processes and ensures data consistency across the institution.

Cons

The initial investment and ongoing costs associated with Ellucian Banner, including licensing fees, implementation services, maintenance, and support, can be significant. The fact that they don't provide a free trial can play against the small businesses.

The people at Ellucian are professional and direct. Their systems are . . . neither. Their Course Catalog system lacks keyword searching - a problem they acknowledge but cannot solve. Their SIS will not provide real-time updates to our LMS - a problem they acknowledge but cannot solve, despite the existence of 3rd party solutions that do the job.

Pros

It brought together many disparate systems, saving a tremendous amount of time.

Cons

The company promises more than it can deliver, and attempts to integrate into multiple systems it should not.

Ellucian is a robust computer system. Data does not get lost unexpectedly. There are exception reports that allow us to keep the financial records in balance and control reports that allow us to keep the subsidiary ledgers in agreement with the control accounts.

Pros

Implementing software systems is difficult but we had some excellent trainers when we went live with Banner Finance. The Ellucian support is very comprehensive. The various modules interface with Finance which eliminates duplicate data entry. And the current Banner product can be accessed from anywhere.

Cons

The length of the fields in Banner 9 data entry pages do not correspond to the data being entered. I shouldn't have to scroll to see what I have typed into a single field. There are often huge spaces but only a limited number of characters are accepted and the rest are truncated.

Degree evaluation

Pros

Students degree evaluation - really my comment is to short. lol... I like pretty much everything with Ellucian

Cons

Our help guide isn't up to date with the new verse so sometimes going to the guide to figure out what you did wrong and why something will not save/update is a pain. But, I can usually figure out what I did.
