Verified for SaaS: Ellucian Banner
SurveyDIG has officially earned the Verified for SaaS designation from Ellucian for Ellucian Banner.
As colleges and universities move core ERP systems from on-premise data centers to Ellucian Cloud, IT teams need third-party tools that integrate cleanly without requiring custom database modifications or manual data handling.
Achieving Verified for SaaS status confirms that SurveyDIG meets Ellucian's architecture, data security, and operational standards for Banner SaaS deployments.
Integrating via Ellucian Ethos APIs
Historically, SurveyDIG connected to on-premise and Ellucian-managed Banner environments through read-only database views that communicated with the SurveyDIG API—without altering core Banner tables.
For Banner SaaS environments, SurveyDIG integrates directly through Ellucian Ethos Data Integration APIs:
- Automated Data Sync: Course sections, instructor assignments, student enrollments, and term dates sync through standard RESTful Ethos endpoints.
- Add/Drop Handling: Enrollment adjustments made during drop/add periods update the evaluation population automatically during the next scheduled sync cycle (at least daily).
- No Manual File Exports: Campus IT does not need to write or maintain custom nightly CSV export scripts.
- Single Sign-On: Connects with campus identity providers (Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, CAS) so students and faculty authenticate using their existing campus credentials.
What This Means for Banner Institutions
For institutions running Banner on-premise or actively planning a migration to Banner SaaS, verification provides confidence:
"SurveyDIG delivers a cloud-ready evaluation platform that integrates out of the box with Ellucian Banner—ensuring student feedback systems continue uninterrupted throughout campus ERP migrations."
