Banner is the trademarked name given to this suite of software products by its parent company Ellucian (formerly known as SunGard HE, and even more formerly known as SCT, Inc). Although it is sometimes spelled in uppercase, "Banner" is not an acronym, and the name has no known special significance.

Although information technology has a limited life-expectancy due to the rapid changes and advancements the industry experiences, we expect Ellucian to continue to provide new functionality and improvements to the Banner system, which we will take advantage of by implementing their upgrades and modifications.

There are no plans to move to anything else in the immediate-term. That said, the ITS office is always looking for solutions to best fit the University's needs. Future changes cannot be ruled out.

SSNs are stored in Banner for legally required purposes (e.g., payroll), and this data is kept in an encrypted table viewable only by a few staff with the appropriate security clearance.
