One Higher Education project is a sprint. Sixty-plus in a year is a delivery rhythm. In 2025, ABCloudz hit that rhythm hard, and it shows up in both the outcomes we shipped and the Ellucian badges we earned along the way.
This year, we delivered 60+ modernization, reporting, and integration projects for 25+ institutions across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
2025 was also the year our long-running Ellucian partnership became official. ABCloudz is an Ellucian Service Partner, and we keep expanding the work we do for institutions that are moving faster toward SaaS and modern campus operations.
We speak higher ed, not just software
Every institution project has two languages. One is technical, APIs, pipelines, data models, and release cycles. The other is functional, how a campus actually runs day to day, who owns which process, and what “works” really means during peak moments like registration, billing, and reporting season.
That second language is a big part of what we bring. Yes, we work across the student systems stack, including Banner, Colleague, Ethos, Data Connect, Insights, and Experience, and we stay vendor-agnostic when an institution runs a different core platform. But just as importantly, we understand the operating model behind those systems. That includes the full student lifecycle, from recruitment, admissions, enrollment, advising, and financial aid, through finance operations like accounts receivable, procurement, and general ledger, and into the supporting domains of HR, advancement and alumni, research, and IT enabling capabilities.
That context matters because Banner and Colleague implementations are rarely “out of the box” in the real world. Each institution has its own mix of policies, timelines, exception cases, and handoffs between teams. Our job is to translate those functional realities into configurations, workflows, reporting logic, and integrations that fit your campus, not a generic template.
We scaled the team for real campus delivery
Our Higher Ed team includes 50+ certified Ellucian specialists covering the full stack, from Banner and Colleague (now unified under Ellucian Student SaaS) to Ethos, Data Connect, Ellucian Insights, and the Experience Platform.
If your environment touches reporting, integrations, workflows, student services, or analytics, that is our day-to-day.
The badges we earned, and what they signal
Ellucian badges are not decorations. They are what you earn when you keep showing up, project after project, and your work holds up in real campus systems.
As you may notice, all of our Ellucian badges sit at the Proficiency level. That is the level you reach after Foundation, and it signals more than familiarity. It confirms hands-on delivery, deeper product knowledge, and the ability to support real-world institutional needs without guesswork.
Here is what we hold today:
- Extensibility Proficiency: Proven capability to extend Ellucian SaaS safely, including building and supporting SaaS-ready patterns that fit institutional requirements without drifting from platform best practices.
- Insights Proficiency: Advanced capability across analytics and reporting, including modernizing reporting strategy, moving legacy BI like Cognos and Argos forward, and enabling Ellucian Insights as a reliable source for decision-making.
- Experience Platform Proficiency: Verified experience designing and delivering Ellucian Experience cards and role-based views that make Experience a working front door, not just a portal shell.

How we modernize without making it painful
Automation is at the heart of how we work. We use proven discovery and modernization tooling, including Modernization Studio, to surface hidden dependencies, reduce guesswork, and make transitions more predictable. For integrations, we focus on SaaS-ready patterns with strong traceability, clear error handling, and support-friendly operations.
See you at eLive 2026
Many people in the Ellucian community first met us at eLive 2025, where we participated as a Bronze partner. In 2026, we are coming back as a Gold partner, and we would love to connect.
Ellucian Live 2026 is on the calendar, but the conversation does not need to wait. If your team is planning a Banner or Colleague SaaS transition, rebuilding integrations, modernizing reporting, or strengthening analytics with Ellucian Insights, drop us a note and let’s talk now.
