Banner Update
 In February, the college began implementing a new software system called Banner. Banner is an integrated student, financial aid, finance and human resources system that also includes a web portal system called Luminis.
The massive system will take three years to fully implement, but project leaders are already seeing “Banner Days” as the team clears early milestones.
Here are a few highlights of the progress so far:
• The Finance implementation is about a third of the way to completion. The Chart of Accounts is completed in Banner and loaded into the test systems.
• Oracle training for the technical staff is complete (ends Oct. 4).
• The Student System implementation is well under way.
• Human Resources implementation is starting up.
• Business Process Analysis for current Finance processes is complete. Student and Human Resources Business Process Analysis has begun. Business Process Analysis for each system will be revisited as Banner is implemented.
Stay tuned for more Banner developments.
For more information about Banner, contact David Hoyt at dhoyt@ccccd.edu or visit the intranet site, http://intranet.ccccd.edu/banner/index.html .
