What is Banner? • Banner is a web application • Available 24/7 via a web browser for access by students, faculty and staff • Integrated application • Point and click (GUI) interface • Uses SQL (structured query language) • Reporting software enhancement is BRIO • Provides more functionality for end users

  5. What is Banner? • All data reside in one database • Information shared among all applications • Will use generated IDs with SSN as a searchable alternate ID • Pushes functionality out of the IT area • Individuals can customize their views of Banner

  6. Why Implement Banner • MCC’s current SCT PLUS products are 15+ years old • PLUS system is based upon mainframe systems (flat files) that do not support full integration of data that can be shared across modules • Banner product is enhanced by the SUNY SICAS center

  14. Project Scope:The Data • Average number of registration records for Fall term = 56,892 • 328,211 academic course records • Average number of Fall term Financial Aid recipients = 8,199 • 66,872 alumni • 138,475 MCCF gifts and pledges

  15. Efforts to Date • Banner application seed data, test instances and pre-production running on MCC’s servers • SCT Banner training for Banner team is underway for three modules • Data Standards document developed • Reporting inventory underway • Banner website developed in Manila

  16. Efforts to Date • Initial data scrubbing has begun • Business Process Analysis (BPAs) on-going • Data Mapping sessions underway • Internal Banner navigation training developed by IT • End User training plans in development • Power users of Purchasing system to be trained as first end user cohort

Banner Benefits • College records will be housed in one large relational database • information retrieved and reports generated will draw from current, non-duplicative system information • Students have greater access to information • Banner will bring closure to the problems associated with systems that "don’t talk to each other" • Banner will allow access to information via a web browser in a highly secured and stable environment

  18. Impact on MCC • Moratorium on current system changes - System revisions for compliance with regulatory issues only • Business Process Analysis (BPA) • End-user training • Same timeframe as SUNY Mission Review and Middle States

  19. Impact on MCC • Purchasing cut-off date for 2003-04 has been moved up to June 11th • MCC’s Open Enrollment period for 2004-05 will be moved up to @November, 2004 • MCC will be working off of two systems—PLUS and Banner—for the duration of the implementation • MCC end users can better utilize Excel and Access to manipulate Banner data

  20. Impact on MCC after Implementation • Access to data for students, faculty and staff will be improved • Reports will be generated in a different way • End users will have better access to reports • Learning curve for end users will be steep and then will diminish • PLUS system took over 15 years to be customized

  21. Banner Preparation • What can I do now to prepare for Banner? • Consider departmental processes and reporting needs • Enhance technical skills in Excel and Access • View the resources on the Banner web page • Talk to colleagues at other Banner institutions
