Application upgrades are an integral part of maintaining the value of your enterprise solution system investment. They provide your existing system with enhancements such as valuable web capabilities that directly impact your organization's productivity and competitiveness.
This means that getting your SUNGARD SCT Banner Student Information System into production and running smoothly is just the beginning of many ongoing activities required to maintain that system.
These activities require resources with the time, skill, and knowledge to continually update your system, including retrofitting all customizations rapidly and effectively with minimal impact to your daily operations. YASH Education Practice Upgrade Services for SUNGARD SCT Banner specializes in delivering speed to business results through proven upgrade practices.
Development/Customizations
SUNGARD SCT Banner is a proven end-to-end solution for student information, financial aid, faculty and advisors, and more. However, organizations typically have some specialized business needs, and, therefore, the need for software customizations.
YASH Education Practice can help develop your software customizations and assist you through the entire software development lifecycle, including project management, systems analysis and design, development and implementation utilizing SEI-based best practices.
State and Federal Reporting
New legislation impacting colleges and university operations is continually being enacted. Organizations must respond by rapidly incorporating changes into their systems especially human resources, payroll, and employee specific applications in order to remain compliant. e.g. Board of Regents reports, Repeat Surcharge, etc.
YEP specializes in assisting universities with their never ever-changing reporting requirements. Our development reporting group works closely with each university and their respective state and federal reporting agencies, ensuring all new reporting requirements are developed, tested, and promoted into production by their required deadlines.
Interfaces/Integration
SunGard SCT Banner administrative suite is an integrated system, however, all institutions are faced with integrating other business systems such as RMS (housing application), Blackboard, Bookstore, Library, Parking, and Campus Police.
YASH Education Practice has years of experience developing interfaces to these other business systems and other Enterprise Resource Planning systems modules such as Peoplesoft Financials and Human Resources. Also, our consultants are trained and experienced in developing API's for other business systems to operate/integrate efficiently with Banner version 7.X
Performance Tuning
System performance is an issue that every institution has to deal with on an ongoing basis, through all stages of a system's life cycle. New technologies put increasing demands on systems, but end users continue to expect increased response and processing times. Performance tuning is vital.
YASH Education Practice has the expertise required to help you get the most performance from your SUNGARD SCT Banner system. We can provide solutions at both the database or application level.
