Mistakes such as typos are part of human nature. As Theodore Roosevelt wrote, the only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything. However, when you see a mistake in your personal student’s record, the first thing you want to do is to correct it immediately. The student’s self-service system […]

Career services should not be the first team to discover your integration stopped updating. Handshake has zero patience for “we just migrated.” For institutions running Colleague on the Ellucian SaaS platform, the core expectation stays the same: student demographic and academic data needs to arrive in Handshake reliably, on schedule, and in a format Handshake […]

Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, and Jessica Alba left college before completing their degrees. Universities handle thousands of less famous exits, including transfers to another institution. The workflow matters because withdrawal stops financial liabilities immediately and may trigger credits or partial refunds based on timing and policy.  To address this demanding task, ABCloudz created an automated withdrawal workflow for a […]

If you have ever watched students fill out onboarding forms, you know exactly when their expression changes. Emergency contact? Easy. Trusted contact? Suddenly they pause. That pause is meaningful. It reflects the difference between who should be called in a crisis and who a student trusts to help them navigate sensitive wellbeing concerns. Institutions across […]

Many institutions struggle with paper-based processes. The situation becomes even worse when the process flow is poorly defined, and responsible parties are unaware that it’s time to act. Does this description of chaos sound familiar to you? Well, you’re not alone, as we have already mentioned, many institutions have the same pain. For those who […]

Imagine a world where you don’t need to fill in any forms. No questions asked, no issues found, no retries — all these statements are impossible in the era of paper forms. However, in the digital era, you can pull all the required information from the database and enter it into the correct fields of […]

Remember the times when you received exam results through physical mail? Checking the results on the bulletin board was never a pleasant experience. Long gone are those times. With online student portals, you can find the results in your browser once they are available. For one of our customers, the ABCloudz team created an exam […]

On average, 16.5 percent of higher education students have declared a disability. This fact means that every sixth student has special needs or requires campus disability support services. However, declaring a disability is usually a paper-based process, which might be the first insurmountable barrier for a student. Higher education is a fundamental human right, and […]

If you have ever looked behind the scenes of a radiology department, you know the truth that nobody advertises. Every clinic runs on a fragile mix of schedulers, imaging systems, dictation tools and half forgotten integrations that only work because someone once begged them to. Our customer set out to fix that reality. They are […]

If you ask clinicians what slows down post-acute care, they usually blame paperwork or a portal that refuses to load at the worst possible moment. If you ask the engineers, they point at a maze of VPNs, legacy APIs, and integrations held together by hope and good intentions. One of our customers set out to […]

If you have ever tried to house thousands of students at once, you know the real problem is not the number of beds, it is the data that decides who is allowed to sleep in them. Room eligibility lives in Ellucian Banner, room assignments live in a separate accommodation system, and every autumn those two […]

HR data keeps every campus system moving, yet it is often supported by integrations that no one notices until they need to be rebuilt. As Ellucian expands its SaaS platform across Europe, the company is proactively modernizing the integrations that institutions have relied on for years in their on-prem Banner environments. Many of these long-standing […]

I came, I saw, I borrowed the book. Do your students enjoy visiting the library just as Julius Caesar enjoyed victories? To receive such feedback from all students, including freshmen, your library must serve them without a long wait in line. In real life, a routine check, such as for permissions to borrow specific medical […]
