Session Descriptions

Accounts Receivable

Third Party Sponsor

Billing

Presenters: Robin

Adams & Cathy Moore,

Wright State University

Learn how Wright State University uses the Banner deliv-

ered forms and processes to maintain and bill third party

sponsors for students and their education related expenses.

We’ll discuss setting up the sponsor ID’s, detail codes,

contracts on TSACONT and rolling contracts from term to

term.

Advancement

Advizor Data

Visualization

Presenters: Dave

Smittle & Brett Scott,

Ohio Northern University

Ohio Northern University uses ADVIZOR for true end-user

reporting and departmental data querying purposes and

has taken a unique approach to implementing the ADVI-

ZOR data visualization product by using the Banner Opera-

tional Data Store (ODS) as the data source behind ADVI-

ZOR. The result is an 'off-the-shelf' and 'out-of-the-box'

implementation with no required customization to the ODS.

Advancement

Roadmap - What is

Ahead?

Presenter: Carla Norris,

Ellucian

This session will share the segment update regarding func-

tionality delivered over the past year as well as review the

roadmap for what is next.

Advancement

Roundtable

Presenter: Carla Norris,

Ellucian

Brainstorm critical areas, CAB priority updates, and bring

your topics for discussion.

Matching Gift

Processing

Presenter: Dave Smittle,

Ohio Northern University

With nearly one in 10 donors being match gift eligible,

matching gifts should be a vital component of any success-

ful fundraising strategy. While this data can be loaded into

Banner, it useless unless it can be turned into knowledge.

Uploaded matching gift rules, along with good employment

data on constituents, can result in Banner automatically

calculating an anticipated matching gift, meaning corporate

funding for institutions can be predicted, tracked and in-

creased. This session will demonstrate how to successfully

implement the baseline-delivered interface between the

HEP electronic matching gift database and Banner Ad-

vancement.

University has been able to interface the awarding of Stu-

dent Employment jobs with RJASEAR to the Banner HR

and PR modules as seen in such forms as PEAEMPL,

PDADEDN, NBAJOBS, and related forms. At many schools,

this could be a manual, labor intensive process which pre-

sents an opportunity for improvement. How is your institu-

tion handling this? Explore common topics in this overlap-

ping arena of these 2 Banner Modules, including the

“vanilla” interface of Payroll Earnings back to the Financial

Aid tables and some ideas about security. Share ideas with

your colleagues and learn how you may improve your own

Come join your Finance counterparts to discuss issues so

that we can benchmark and learn from each other. In this

BOF, we’d like to start with the topic of Bank Reconciliations.

General

Birds of a Feather:

Ohio Shared Ser-

vices for Training

Your Teams

Facilitators: Debbi

Romero and Lori

Mauthe, Ellucian

Help Ellucian learn how we can help you share services so

that we can better meet the educational and training needs

of colleges and universities in Ohio. This open discussion

will give you the chance to learn more about what we are

your needs more effectively.

Managing the

Project Portfolio at

Kent State

University

Presenters: Coleen

Santee, Kent State

University & Andrew

Graf, TeamDynamixHE

In today's environment of tight budgets, constrained re-

sources, and rapid change, project and portfolio manage-

ment processes and tools are more valuable than ever to

university leadership. In this presentation, we will discuss

how the Division of Information Services at Kent State Uni-

versity was able to leverage higher education-specific pro-

cesses and tools to effectively manage the project portfolio

and the resources necessary to support it. We will also ex-

plore trends in higher education project, operations, and

service desk management that are resulting in increased IT

efficiency.

13



General, continued

Data Management

Presenter: Gary

Young, Kent State

University

Broad availability and the use of technology significant-

ly increased the volume of information that Kent State

University currently stores. While more information is

closely linked to business expansion, recorded infor-

mation is difficult and costly to manage in large quanti-

ties. The amount of stored information made effective

management of Banner data both a business priority

and a legal obligation that demanded the attention of

all executives, faculty, and staff. It was vital to curb

ongoing uncontrolled growth to meet compliance and

legal risk mitigation needs, improve system efficiency,

bolster asset leverage, increase productivity, and con-

trol costs. In this session, we'll examine the Banner

Data Management initiative, which formalizes the pro-

cess of reviewing the records management policy, re-

viewing records retention schedules and engaging the

information services division, as needed, to manage

Banner data. The presentation will also review the de-

livered Banner purge/archive processes and what may

be needed to address the gaps.

IT Help Desk

Solutions That Help

You Help Your

Students

Presenters: Jann

Gillingham, Ellucian

Your help desk is the face of your organization to your com-

munity of students, staff, and faculty. Are you finding it hard

to staff nights, weekends, and peak registration times for a

YouTube generation that expects support to be instantane-

ous? Is your staff complaining that they spend most of their

time answering routine inquiries rather than getting real work

done? Are students complaining that when they need help,

they get someone’s voicemail rather than an answer? Learn

how Ellucian’s Help Desk Services offer centralized, con-

sistent, and professional support which allows your institution

to expand its service hours, improve service quality, reduce

response time, while enhancing your staff’s productivi-

ty. Learn how Ellucian’s continuous improvement process

provides visibility into metrics which are used to improve the

service and reduce the number of contacts.

Maximizing Your

Banner Investment

with Evisions

Solutions

Presenter: Jack Obrey,

Evisions

Come learn more about how Evisions can help maximize

your Banner investment. Evisions has developed our solu-

tions with Banner-based Universities and Colleges in

mind. Argos, our enterprise reporting solution, was de-

signed to enable every user type to quickly access the

information they need to make smart decisions. Argos

maximizes your campus investments by integrating with

any database, imaging tool, portal and more. FormFusion,

our document enhancement and distribution solution,

allows you to control the design and delivery of your Ban-

ner output and eliminate costly pre-printed forms. You can

easily distribute documents over a variety of delivery

channels including print, email, web, or imaging. Personal-

ly Identifiable Information (PII) is everywhere in Banner as

well as in the ODS and EDW. Are you uncomfortable with

testing and training using actual student and employee

information without having PII masked in some way? See

how DataMasque will make the process of removing PII

simple while still maintaining a relevant and usable data

environment. DataMasque comes with predefined scrub

plans for Banner to ensure quick implementation. Tran-

scripts have long been a frustration for Banner sites, in

regards to what’s on them and how they are delivered.

Now, with the Transcript Solution from Evisions you can

get the transcript you have always wanted without the

hassle of customizations to Banner and you can deliver

the transcript how it is desired. Attend and find out how

Evisions solutions can benefit your institution!

ployment and compensation data established in Banner

Human Resources and the faculty member’s individual work

load data established in Banner Student. Come learn more

about how this module can support institutional needs.

Leave Management

Today: The FMLA,

State Laws, and

Changing

Demands for

Compliance

Presenter: Paul

Kramer, WorkForce

Software

Fully twenty years after its passage, the Family and Medical

Leave Act (FMLA) is still the subject of expansions and revi-

sions… with each change posing new challenges for employ-

ers. Additionally, most states — including Ohio — have en-

acted their own major leave regulations, which may overlap

with the FMLA. With this backdrop, it should be no surprise

that 67% of HR professionals report a rise in their leave-

related workload, according to a 2012-13 Trend Survey pub-

lished by Workforce Management.

In this presentation, WorkForce Software’s Paul Kramer will

outline common compliance concerns in absence and leave,

as well as share best practices to help your organization

streamline your leave processes, improve the employee

experience, and reduce the risk of non-compliance.

Attendees will learn:

The core requirements of the FMLA, and its most recent

batch of changes.

Effective guidance on complying with complicated and

ever-changing leave laws.

Recommendations for streamlining leave management

via process and technology changes.

Johnson, Kent State

University

With an ever-increasing number of programs that have non-

audit system.

3. Would provide a simple, user-friendly interface for

advisors.

cian Mobile offers both deep integration with Ellucian solu-

tions and flexible options to help customers extend the digi-

tal campus to include non-Ellucian applications. Institutions

can choose to implement an easily configurable pre-set

package of applications that can be fully launched in hours

or opt to build, customize, and manage their own mobile

environments. Come learn more about how Ellucian Mobile

can help people engage more easily with your institution.
