The Colorado State University System embarked on a $10.8 million, 34-month project to implement a shared student information system (SIS) using Banner across multiple campuses.

Situation

However, as the project approached its final stages, Colorado State University Pueblo faced significant challenges in defining their processes and staying on track with their portion of the implementation. The project team needed expert consulting support to analyze policies, streamline processes, and ensure they met their deadlines.

Ferrilli’s involvement was instrumental in keeping the Banner SIS implementation on time and within scope.

Solution

At the recommendation of the joint Banner project manager, CSU Pueblo engaged Ferrilli to provide critical consulting support. Ferrilli’s deep expertise in Banner systems and their operational understanding of university departments like the registrar’s office and financial aid allowed them to quickly assess and bridge gaps in CSU Pueblo’s implementation. Their consultants worked closely with the team, ensuring that processes were clearly defined and helping CSU Pueblo stay on schedule.

Results

Ferrilli’s involvement was instrumental in keeping the Banner SIS implementation on time and within scope. Their hands-on approach, deep technical knowledge, and operational insights made them an indispensable partner in the project. Not only did Ferrilli exceed expectations in terms of expertise and support, but they also provided exceptional value, delivering high-quality service within the university’s budget. Their contributions have transformed them from a vendor into a trusted partner for the Colorado State University System.
