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 Banner software implementation so far:
• The Finance, Administrative Programming and Operating Systems areas are working on data mapping from PLUS to Banner.
• Student Services continues to work on recruitment, admissions and communication plans.
• The Administrative Programming and Operating Systems groups will begin learning about the technical side of the implementation of the Student system.
• Human Resources implementation is starting up.
• Finance began the Fixed Assets configuration.
• Human Resources begins work on Banner employee classification, position management, compensation and job management.
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 .
