Presentation Title
Driving Transformational Change – Selecting ONU’s Next ERP
Session Time
2:00 PM
Location
Poplar
Brief Presentation Description
Discuss ONU’s recent initiative to assess Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for our next SaaS ERP system. It is important to note that ONU has utilized Ellucian Banner in an on-premises capacity for over thirty years. This evaluation not only presents an opportunity to transition to a cloud-based solution but, more significantly, allows us to drive transformative change in our longstanding processes.

After evaluating Ellucian, Jenzabar, Oracle, and Workday, ONU decided to move forward with Workday as its chosen solution.

Will also discuss our next steps and some of the biggest risks we currently see at the onset of this project.
