  1. Can calendaring populate the student’s Google, Yahoo, or Hotmail calendar? Can integrate with SEKAI? “Tablet App” – is it iPad, Android, or Windows? Will it work properly in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer?

Can calendaring populate the student’s Google, Yahoo, or Hotmail calendar?

RESPONSE: Yes, if those accounts are linked into the enterprise. We showed Google integration in our Luminis demo environment. This is out of the box.

Can integrate with SEKAI?

RESPONSE: Yes, Saki LMS integration is supported via our eLearning integration.

“Tablet App” – is it iPad, Android, or Windows?

RESPONSE: Not a tablet application. It is a HTML based app that is written with responsive design. We only test on Android and iOS tablets currently.

Will it work properly in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer?

RESPONSE: Yes

  1. Are we able to use Ellucian to track State of Illinois immunization compliance and block registration for students not in compliance? Is this all done with Banner, or is data maintained in Health Service, and health record only blocks registration placed with banner? Will this system allow students to access SHS appointment system (point and click) and pharmacy system (Pro Pharm) within the Banner product?
  1. How customizable is the portal? Can we multi-sodo data? Does it integrate with any CMSOOB? Document Management System – Define what it does; what’s the scope? Will it replace Imagenow? Are there any specific protocols for SSO? Can Hemery/Templates for UL be done across the application (portal was red, but other apps weren’t – UL sensory disconnected? New students SSO – how would they be handled as they are not in LOAP/CAS?

How customizable is the portal?

RESPONSE: Via CSS style sheets customers can elect to modify the colors, logos, fonts and navigation scheme as they see fit.

Can we multi-sodo data?

RESPONSE: I don’t know what this is.

Does it integrate with any CMSOOB?

RESPONSE: I don’t know what this is.

Document Management System – Define what it does; what’s the scope? Will it replace ImageNow?

RESPONSE: The Banner Document Management system is an industry leading Document Management solution from EMC Documentum. More details can be found here:

BDM could replace your ImageNow solution. ImageNow is not a partner with the Banner solution. Also, the integration between Banner and ImageNow is not supported by Ellucian. However, a few customers do run ImageNow with Banner.

Are there any specific protocols for SSO?

RESPONSE: SSO can be accomplished via CAS or basic LDAP authentication today. Ellucian Banner will be supported SAML based authentication in Q4 of 2013.

Can Hemery/Templates for UL be done across the application (portal was red, but other apps weren’t – UL sensory disconnected?

RESPONSE: No

New students SSO – how would they be handled as they are not in LOAP/CAS?

RESPONSE: Prospects can be managed within the Luminis portal LDAP. Once they become a student, that account information could be pushed into your central CAS/LDAP.

  1. Explain how system changes from the users are received, evaluated, and potentially implemented. Please explain requests from users for a change or addition, and software modules developed by users.

RESPONSE: This is managed as part of the change management component within the ISU project management organization. There are tools that can help with this process like the Oracle Change Management package.

  1. Discuss recent legislative changes for the ability to benefit reporting for Pell, DL’s, and TEACH. Discuss DL loan periods and academic year, and how it impacted your system.
