Banner Managed Services Banner XE has arrived! ITS has created an XE preview environment and we are offering early access to our managed services institutions. This environment has modules that are currently available from Ellucian which include Event Management, Faculty Grades, Attendance Tracking, and Course Scheduling. This preview into Banner XE is designed to provide you an early glimpse into the next evolution of Banner. We are expecting that this will generate great discussion as we move forward and encourage everyone to dive in and explore in advance of Georgia Summit. Planned biweekly meetings will be held with everyone participating, starting with the Managed Services “Birds of a Feather” session at GA Summit. We also welcome email feedback at [email protected]. Please contact Andrea Williams to obtain your accounts. Andrea will also provide Ellucian videos on each of the new modules to help you get started.
