“We’re dedicated to successfully preparing Touro students to enter an increasingly competitive workforce,” said Touro’s President and CEO Dr. Alan Kadish. “Banner® is a widely-utilized ERP system in higher education that will integrate our information systems to greatly enhance our operations and improve upon the excellent services we currently offer our students, enabling them to focus on their studies, not administrative tasks.” 

The Touro College and University System has experienced rapid growth over the last decade and currently serves approximately 19,000 students across 32 schools in five countries. The institution requires a centralized system that supports its focus on student success. Banner® was selected to enhance the student experience and streamline business processes by more effectively connecting the campus community.

Banner will help Touro to integrate management information across the entire university, including such areas as finance, accounting, human resources and student services, and automate their activities with an integrated software application. This will permit the institution to track everything throughout the organization and in the end, function more effectively and increase staff and student satisfaction.

Under the agreement, Ellucian will partner with Touro to implement Banner® Financial Aid, Banner® Human Resources, and Banner® Student. Additionally, Touro will deploy the Ellucian Luminis Platform to better connect and deliver collaborative tools for students, faculty, and staff.

“Touro is an exemplary, future-focused institution with an emphasis on helping an incredibly diverse population of students achieve academic excellence. We’re proud to partner with Touro, as they implement Banner® to improve efficiency, strengthen accountability, and enhance self-services for the entire college and university system.” said Paul Cunningham, senior vice president of customer relationships at Ellucian.
