Empowering Student Success with Ellucian Banner's Ambitious SaaS Transformation at Laredo College

Strategic Realignment for Success

Laredo College, after 75 years of service, realized the urgent need for a technology overhaul to match industry standards. The institution partnered with Ellucian to embark on a comprehensive Strategic Alignment Plan. This plan involved a two-year engagement focused on defining and supporting short- and long-term goals, managing resources effectively, and navigating the necessary changes throughout the institution. The cornerstone of this transformation was the complete migration to a SaaS-based ecosystem, marking Laredo as a pioneer in adopting this cutting-edge solution.

Redesigning Processes for Efficiency

One immediate challenge Laredo College faced was inefficient training and outdated processes. Departments were working in silos, leading to scattered data across spreadsheets and information gaps during state reporting. The institution's staff lacked the necessary knowledge to improve their workflows within the Banner ecosystem, resulting in time-consuming and error-prone manual processes. With the help of Banner SaaS, Laredo aims to enhance data compilation, analysis capabilities, and streamline operations for better decision-making.

Enhanced Security and Disaster Recovery

Transitioning to SaaS brought concerns about data security for Laredo College. However, moving data to a reputable SaaS vendor offers enhanced security measures, including encryption, identity authentication, and redundancy built into data storage. With these robust security features, Laredo can ensure data safety and quick recovery in the event of a disaster. This shift also allows IT resources to shift focus from routine maintenance to more strategic initiatives.

Prioritizing Student Success

At the core of Laredo College's Strategic Alignment Plan lies a strong emphasis on student success. Given that many students are first-generation learners with limited access to technology, personalized support is essential. By leveraging Banner's capabilities, Laredo aims to tailor learning pathways, support transfer students effectively, and provide a more engaging educational experience. The institution seeks to empower its staff with the necessary tools to guide students towards success efficiently and effectively.
