Moving to Ellucian SaaS is a big deal. Let's make sure you're ready for it.
Moving to Ellucian SaaS is one of the most consequential decisions a college or university will make this decade. It promises innovation with multiple releases and easier maintenance paths.
SIG has guided Banner and Colleague institutions through every phase of this transition, from readiness assessments to full SaaS migrations to net-new implementations. Our experts ensure that your processes, organization, and technology are aligned before, during, and after go-live.
How we help SaaS Readiness
Ellucian SaaS Readiness
Before you migrate, make sure you know where you stand. What customizations are in play? Which integrations are Ethos-ready? What processes were built around Banner's on-premise quirks and will break in a SaaS environment?
Our SaaS Readiness offerings analyze your current process, technology, and organization — and get your institution in shape for a successful transition.
Ellucian SaaS Migration Consulting: Banner & Colleague On-Premise to Cloud
Whether you’re moving an existing system to the cloud or starting fresh, SIG provides end-to-end implementation support that keeps your project on track, on budget, and aligned with your institutional goals.
SaaS Migration
For institutions moving from an on-premise version of Banner or Colleague to SaaS, we manage the full migration lifecycle. Our consultants know where the landmines are because they’ve navigated them at institutions like yours. We ensure your migration preserves what’s working, eliminates what isn’t, and positions your team for success on day one in SaaS.
Net New SaaS Implementation
For institutions implementing Ellucian SaaS from the ground up. SIG brings the project discipline and deep Ellucian expertise to get your implementation right the first time, with a focus on adoption and long-term sustainability, not just technical completion.
Training, Adoption & Post-Go-Live Support
Go-live is the beginning, not the finish line. Staff transitioning to SaaS-native workflows need training that fits their important roles.
SIG provides functional training for end users and administrators, plus support in the critical weeks following go-live, when questions multiply and institutional knowledge gets stress-tested.
When the dust settles, ongoing managed services keep your Ellucian environment healthy and your team supported.
Why Higher Ed Institutions Choose SIG for Ellucian SaaS
We’ve been implementing and optimizing Ellucian systems for over 35 years across more than 1,000 institutions. We bring the right recipe of process optimization, organizational change management, expert program governance, and technology expertise to ensure success. Our consultants have spent careers inside these systems and understand the functional, technical, and organizational realities of making them work. The result is fewer surprises, faster time to value, and a partnership that lasts well beyond go-live.
We were named the 2025 Ellucian Service Partner of the Year. That's more than a credential; its a proven track record of migrations, implementations, and institutional outcomes that Ellucian has recognized as exceptional.
No one knows your institution better than you do. And no one knows Ellucian SaaS better than SIG.
Let's plan your path forward together.
Every day is a chance to dismantle the status quo.
I almost look at SIG as our safety net. We have Ellucian implementing the software, we have our Broward team, but then we have SIG. If we’re going to stumble or fall, SIG is going to be there to help pick us up—because they’re in it with us for the long haul.
