Help Us Name the Replacement for Banner, Win Merch

Submitted by: Jenn Haas, Information Technology Services (ITS)

For 20 years, Macalester has used Ellucian’s Banner as our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The ERP supports critical institutional processes such as budget planning and forecasting, procurement, purchasing, recruitment, hiring, payroll processing, course registration, degree planning, and academic records. This summer, we are launching a five-year project to replace it with a more modern and usable ERP.

We will share more information about this project later this summer. In the meantime, we’re asking for your help in naming the new platform! Submit your name suggestions using this form. The winning entry will receive a Macalester merch gift bag!
