ORU Cloud Modernization - Training

Transitioning to Banner Cloud

Moving from on-premise to the cloud represents a fundamental shift in how we deliver and consume technology at ORU

Preparing for the Transition: Why It Matters

Banner is currently utilized by only 32% of campus departments. To ensure a smoother and more confident transition to the cloud environment, the university is prioritizing two key goals:

• ✓ Close the Knowledge Gap: Focused efforts will ensure that key functional areas are brought up to speed on current Banner systems, reducing confusion and aligning users with baseline processes
• ✓ Prioritize Banner Cloud Training: Early training in the new cloud environment will help reduce the learning curve and foster confidence in using the updated system
• ✓ Streamline Daily Tasks: By clarifying how Banner should function and introducing recent updates, users will be better equipped to manage daily operations efficiently
• ✓ Minimize Transition Friction: Targeted onboarding reduces the “shock factor” of switching systems, allowing smoother adaptation and fewer disruptions to productivity
• ✓ Support Long-Term Success: Training bridges the gap between outdated habits and improved processes, setting users up for long-term comfort and success in the new cloud-based environment
