Banner 9 Update for October 2017
Friday, October 6, 2017
The CaTS Banner 9 development team has been working hard the last few months on getting Banner 9 ready for use by the university. See below for the latest updates and preliminary timelines for this important upgrade.
Updates
- A Banner 9 kickoff presentation and open house was held on August 3. All Banner Administrative users were invited for live demos, discussions, and an introductory presentation by Craig Woolley.
- Banner 9 FACT sub-teams have been formed and are meeting on a regular basis. These teams have been doing extensive testing of Banner 9 Administrative pages. Sub-teams represent the following functional areas: Advancement, Admissions, AR, Finance, Financial Aid, HR/Payroll/Budget Planning, and Student.
- An information table about the Banner 9 upgrade was setup at the CaTS Tech Fair on October 4. There was also a live demo of Banner 9 navigation for the administrative applications and a sneak peek at the Banner 9 Self-Service applications.
- Training and documentation for Banner 9 Admin is currently being developed in CaTS. Training sessions for Banner 9 Admin navigation will be announced soon.
Preliminary Timeline for Upgrade
- End of October - Testing of Banner 9 Administrative pages to be completed.
- Mid-November: Soft rollout of Banner 9 Admin in production to a core group of functional administrative users. During this time, Banner 9 Admin and Banner 8 Admin will run in parallel.
- End of 2017 - Rollout of Banner 9 Admin in production to the rest of the campus. Banner 8 Admin and Banner 9 Admin will continue to run in parallel for a short period of time until we are certain that Banner 9 Admin does not have any critical issues.
Banner 9 Upgrade Coming Soon!
Tuesday, July 25, 2017
Wright State Faculty and Staff,
Wright State is commencing the upgrade to Banner 9. This new release delivers a number of important enhancements, including a modern user interface, enhanced navigation and process management tools, and new functionality across the student, HR and finance functions. It will also give us greater flexibility as we’ll be able to run Banner on any browser and on tablets.
With any system upgrade, we know that people often grow concerned over what will change, and we have been working closely with our partner, Ellucian, to understand and anticipate those changes. To date, most of the feedback that other institutions have provided indicates that getting used to the new interface and navigation takes minimal effort. To date, hundreds of Banner customers have already upgraded or are in the process of upgrading, and we will be able to share experiences across the Banner community as we roll out Banner 9 here.
Our team plans to begin the move to Banner 9 by upgrading the various administrative modules in a phased approach. We will start this project in July 2017 and we are targeting completion for October 2018. We will be reaching out to the functional areas to coordinate for system testing and training as we work to complete the overall project schedule. Because we are upgrading the administrative modules, there will be little to no impact on our students.
To see what’s coming check out these quick videos (registration is required):
- Admin – Student (Admissions, Registration, A/R)
- Admin – Financial Aid
- Admin – Human Resources
- Admin – Finance
Here are some additional resources to help you learn more about what’s coming in Banner 9:
- Human Resources Focus – What’s New in Banner 9 (PDF)
- Finance Focus – What’s New in Banner 9 (PDF)
- Student and Financial Aid Focus – What’s New in Banner 9 (PDF)
We will be keeping you informed of our progress through our Banner 9 website, as well as through open discussions with your team, and we welcome your involvement as a part of this initiative. If you have any questions or concerns, I'd be happy to discuss them with you. Please contact me at (937) 775-4008, or craig.woolley@wright.edu.
