Chemistry Update Bolsters Higher Ed Financial Sustainability

Sustainability in higher education is about adopting new formulas to operate more efficiently as needs and expectations shift. To equip institutions for success, we're introducing the Chemistry Update, a fresh way to share the latest product developments inspired by higher ed fields of study. This release promises to help institutions create more opportunities through fast innovation — from how your faculty, staff, and students access information to no-code solutions delivering tailored workflows, forms, and integrations.

A report from the Chronicle of Higher Education cites digital transformation as a long-term priority. In response, Ellucian's Chemistry Update presents a robust SaaS platform designed to empower institutions with the tools needed to transform for the future.

Helping Everyone Work Smarter

Imagine a campus where administrative tasks, approvals, and forms are automated effortlessly while boosting efficiency. Ellucian's Chemistry Update makes this a reality by empowering users to drive student and staff productivity without needing extensive coding knowledge. Build integrations quickly and leverage the Experience Software Development Kit (SDK) to create extensions and expand business processes by incorporating actions from any API within and beyond the Ellucian portfolio.

Creating Engaging Experiences

The user experience is paramount for gaining adoption of any technology, whether it's built for students or staff. With that in mind, we upgraded the Experience dashboard, enhancing navigation, dashboard design options, and content management. Drive timely calls to action no matter where you’re working with tasks, notifications, and calendars, making it faster to get things done across Ellucian applications. Your campus users will feel more supported at work and school with the latest Experience updates.

Unlocking ERP Productivity

Efficiency gains extend into ERP functionalities with enhancements across Banner Finance, Banner Human Resources, and Colleague Accounts Receivable. From automating financial processes to simplifying HR workflows and student billing, the Chemistry Update optimizes operational efficiency across the board, enabling staff to focus on strategic initiatives rather than manual tasks. Now, it’s even easier to get your work done with the applications you rely on every day.

Reimagining How Students Apply

Reimagine your admission and enrollment process with Ellucian Apply, a modern admissions application that offers a seamless experience for prospective students and saves precious staff time by streamlining data collection and validation. Apply makes it easy for institutions to personalize the prospect experience with secure, password-free, multi-factor authentication and a configurable application designer. This not only enhances the applicant experience but also frees up valuable staff time for more personalized student engagement.

Acting on Data-Driven Insights

Data-driven decision-making is crucial in navigating the complexities of modern higher education. Ellucian Insights unifies and unlocks a treasure trove of comprehensive data from across individual institutions and now across systems.
