Recommendation for using Insights vs Argos.
Reporting Tool Standard for Banner Cloud Modernization.
The ORU Cloud Modernization Project Management Team has determined that Ellucian Insights is the recommended and approved reporting standard for the Banner SaaS environment. This decision is based on a comprehensive evaluation of security protocols, data access efficiency, and direct integration with Banner data tables.
Reporting Conversion Policy:
- All current Argos reports that require no additional programming logic will be converted to Insights.
- Each converted report will be validated and signed off by the designated end user to confirm data integrity, data accuracy, and data access efficiency.
- Argos reports requiring custom programming logic will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, tested for data security compliance, and maintained in the Argos format where necessary.
Conclusion: Utilizing native reporting tools (Ellucian Insights) within the Ellucian Banner SaaS environment ensures consistent security standards, optimal performance, and reduced maintenance overhead for all universities.
