What is 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).

Pros
“I was not involved in that process or I guess I'm not sure what I like best. Well, the S.O.S. page is nice and it's easier to perform journal vouchers usinig S.O.S.”
“The new capability of using Chrome is a great feature as well because our entire organization is comfortable with the format.”
“Amazing application with many features and modules. Banner Finance in particular is the industry leading software.”
Cons
“They still use 8 character table names!!! The amount of technical debt means if you even wanted to deploy it as a SaaS product, it is nearly impossible, let alone trying to put it up in the cloud.”
“It's hard to know what you are doing, and it's very easy to make a mistake that could do a fair bit of damage.”
“This is a small complaint because it is minimal amounts of typing.”
