Metropolitan Community College SaaS Migration Case Study

This case study details the migration of Metropolitan Community College (MCC) to a Software as a Service (SaaS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, specifically Ellucian Banner SaaS. The primary challenge faced by MCC was the outdated and hard-to-maintain legacy ERP system that had not evolved to meet the modern needs of its students and staff. The decision to transition to Banner SaaS was driven by the need for a more fluid and accessible technology infrastructure that aligns with current and future educational demands. The case study outlines the collaborative approach taken by MCC and Ellucian, where Ellucian staff partnered with MCC to facilitate the migration process. It also highlights the anticipated benefits of the new system, including improved user experience and adaptability to future technology trends. The document emphasizes the importance of student feedback in guiding the decision-making process and the cultural considerations involved in modernizing the institution's technology.
