Step-by-Step Integration Process

You can integrate Banner® By Ellucian in Product name - ev itsm.png in four easy steps:


Step 1: Check the list of requirements.

  • You must have an account to access the following platforms:
    • Banner®.
    • Product name - ev itsm.png with the relevant rights to access the Administration and Integration menus.


Step 2: Export Banner® data (CSV files).

  • Contact your Ellucian administrator to configure the export of employee and user data in a CSV file and the daily download on an FTP site of your choice. The file may be encrypted if required.
  • The export file can include data on the following types of population:
    • Accepted applicants
    • Current students
    • Academic staff
    • Non-academic staff

Note: The export is performed by the Ellucian administrator or technician based on customer requirements and Logo - EasyVista.png requirements using a specific Oracle stored procedure in several SQL tables. Because this is a customer-specific task, it is not documented in the wiki. An alternative consists of using the Ellucian Ethos Platform integration model.
