ERP & SIS
Your ERP is the backbone of your institution. Treat it that way.
Your campus runs on Banner, Colleague, or another enterprise system that touches nearly every administrative function — enrollment, financial aid, HR, finance, student records.
When that system isn't configured well, isn't supported properly, or hasn't kept pace with how your institution actually works, the pain spreads fast. Staff build workarounds. Data gets messy. Processes that should take minutes take hours. As institutions move to SaaS and modernize their technology, the pressure on your ERP only grows.
SIG has been doing higher education ERP work since 1988. Whether you need a full Banner implementation, a path through the SaaS migration, a team to optimize a Colleague environment that hasn't been touched since go-live, or managed support to cover a staffing gap, SIG can help.
SIG's ERP & SIS Consulting Services
From ERP assessments to implementation support to managed services, SIG can help you make the most of the systems that matter most.
Business Process Improvement & Back-to-Basics
Before you spend money on something new, it's worth asking whether you're actually using what you have. Our Back-to-Basics (B2B) approach helps institutions return to baseline — tapping into native ERP features, tightening processes, and putting efficiency tools like imaging and workflow to work. The goal is fewer modifications, less technical debt, and a system that does what it's supposed to do.
ERP Assessment & Gap Analysis
Not sure where to start? We'll help you figure it out. Our assessment process takes a structured look at your current configuration, business processes, governance structure, and staffing to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities. You'll walk away with a clear picture of where things stand and a practical path forward.
ERP Implementation & SaaS Migration Support
Whether you're implementing a new system, migrating to SaaS, or navigating a major upgrade, we provide hands-on functional and technical support at every stage. We've done this enough times to know where things go sideways — and how to keep them on track.

Ongoing Managed Support
Go-live isn't the finish line. Institutions need ongoing support to maintain system health, address issues as they arise, and continue improving over time. We offer flexible engagement models to provide the right level of support for your team's needs.
Why Higher Ed Institutions Choose SIG for ERP Work
ERP work is only as good as the team's understanding of the systems involved. Our consultants know Banner and Colleague at the functional level, and they understand how your institution's business processes actually work inside those systems. That means fewer surprises, faster problem-solving, and advice grounded in how higher ed really operates, not just how the documentation says it should.
We've worked with more than 1,000 institutions since 1988. The breadth of that experience shows up in the details — in knowing which configurations cause downstream headaches, which upgrade paths are smoother than they look, and which process improvements actually stick.
Our expertise has earned us the 2024 and 2025 Ellucian Service Partner of the Year Awards. It's also earned us the trust of hundreds of ERP clients.

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.
