Cons
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."

More Ellucian Cons →

"I do not have any notes for improvements.""Its user interface should be improved.""We will not make any major changes, and we are not expecting any enhancements or new features from SAP because they already have a new solution. No development is happening on SAP ERP because SAP has come up with a new version called SAP S/4HANA, which is memory-based technology. We are planning to upgrade to SAP S/4HANA, but we don't know when it will happen. We are in the preparation phase.""SAP ERP could improve by having better integration with other platforms.""The system is over-customized.""Pricing could be improved for preferred customers.""There are a lot of manual tasks that are used by a lot of people, so it is a very good candidate for RPA.""The reporting could be improved, such as the casework, production, and activity reports. Our consultants in a subsidiary enterprise have requested that we develop a new production report. They could also improve production, financial, and HR analysis."
