Cajana Selected to Host Sungard Banner Applications PDF Print

Alpharetta, GA – December 20, 2010 - Northwest State Community College (NSCC), a two-year Ohio public institution with over 3,500 students, today selected Cajana to provide full application hosting and managed services for Sungard Higher Education’s Banner, Luminis, Degreeworks, and eVisions applications. The college is also upgrading from Banner 7.x to Banner 8 as part of the transition to Cajana’s hosting solution. Through a separate agreement between Cajana and the Ohio Academic Resources Network (ORANet), the applications will reside on infrastructure in the Wright State University data center in Dayton, OH.

“Our location in rural Ohio made it a challenge for us to recruit and retain skilled resources to administer our applications, so outsourcing was our best option,” said Matthew Osborn, NSCC’s Director of IT. “We evaluated proposals from several providers, and Cajana clearly came out on top. Their track record of providing hosting services to higher education, coupled with their skilled resources and cost-effective approach, made them the obvious choice.”

“We are excited and proud to have Northwest State Community College join the Cajana family,” said Brian Ellis, CEO of Cajana. “NSCC provides a valuable service to the northwest Ohio community, and we are honored to help them improve the quality of their Sungard application users’ experience while significantly reducing costs at the same time. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with NSCC.”
