Ellucian Is Moving You to SaaS.
Your Integrations Aren't Coming With You.
900+ Banner and Colleague institutions are still on-premises. Ellucian migrated 32 in their “record year.” At that pace, the line is 25+ years long. QuickLaunch gets you live in 30 days — Ethos Ready, Verified for SaaS.
The Migration Reality
75% of Your Peers Are Stuck.
The Market Is Frozen.
In Ellucian's own survey, nearly half of institutions said they have some ideas but need more direction. Another 28% are still figuring out where to start. Only 5% feel confident. You're not behind — everyone is.
25+ Years
In the migration queue. At Ellucian's current pace of 32 institutions per year, the 900+ still on-prem are looking at a quarter century wait.

Customized business processes are the #1 migration fear. Your integrations were built over decades. Ellucian's SaaS path doesn't bring them with you.

Don't have a clear migration plan. Most institutions are frozen — waiting for direction that isn't coming fast enough.
