Idaho State University ERP Project News
April 26, 2007
We are pleased to announce that the university will begin a coordinated implementation of a full enterprise resource planning (ERP) system this summer. This ERP system will ultimately include modules for finance, HR/Payroll, student information and financial aid in the SunGard Higher Education Banner suite of programs, as well as their portal, data warehouse, and electronic workflow systems. By implementing a uniform suite of programs, the university will gain significant benefits from integration among the systems. This expanded project scope has been made possible by significant negotiated price reductions from a number of vendors and the availability of flexible financing to the university. A request will be submitted to the state Board of Education for approval of the project for consideration at their June meeting. Implementation will begin this summer, and will take approximately three years.
