Banner is an Oracle™ enterprise database used by McGill University to store all student and financial data. While the database itself is called Banner, there are several user interfaces and systems that access this data:
- Banner INB (Internet Native Banner) - is a web-based interface used by administrative staff to perform the tasks for which they are responsible. It is not used by students or instructors.
- Minerva - a web interface used by students, faculty, and administrative staff, for both self-service and administrative tasks.
- Data Warehouse (DWH) - a snapshot of data from Banner that is refreshed nightly.
- ApplicationXtender - is a desktop and a web application that is used for viewing, scanning and indexing documents and it integrates with Banner.
Our Organization is in need of ..
McGill is currently operating an outdated and mostly unsupported version of its ERP, Ellucian's Banner. Unlike previous versions of the ERP software, the new version of Banner, version 9, was reengineered using an entirely new application development framework and technology. This poses a significant upgrade challenge to McGill as it has performed substantial modifications and add-ons to the ERP over nearly 25 years in its use using the legacy application.
