SunGard Application Automation: Automate the UDC

If you manage a school or university, you know how much complexity is involved in coordinating all the people, technology, and processes involved—everything from student admissions to alumni associations. SunGard Higher Education Banner is a big help, but you still have to perform numerous manual steps outside of Banner.

With UC4 Banner Enterprise Job Scheduler, you can automate the entire Unified Digital Campus (UDC), saving time, enhancing accuracy, and improving your ROI. Using automation templates integrated with SunGard Higher Education, UC4 Enterprise Job Scheduler organizes and automates jobs and processes, reducing both the time required for critical system processing and the risks involved.

With UC4’S Banner Enterprise Job Scheduler, you can:

Automate Financial Aid
Accelerate job completion for tasks such as financial aid distribution by automating routine manual tasks. With UC4, you’ll reduce errors, free up staff for more productive tasks, and help ensure that students receive their funding on time.

Automate Student Letter Generation
Improve the efficiency and timeliness of your student communications by automating letter generation. UC4’s solution optimizes the use of electronic delivery channels, letting you communicate by e-mail, text messaging, and FTP, as well as by network printers.

Centrally Monitor and Manage Administrative Operations
Centrally manage system and data center processes to optimize use of available IT resources—and monitor them in real time. An easy-to-use graphical interface helps you track progress , while complex HR and administration tasks execute automatically. You can also restrict access to automation routines according to users’ institutional roles.

Audit and Report Student Payments
Improve accountability by automatically recording all transactions and generating audit reports for regulatory compliance.  

UC4 Unifies and Optimizes George Mason University’s Digital Campus

Managing the information and records of 30,000 students is no small task—which is why, in 2003, George Mason University decided to integrate diverse departments by migrating all student services to SunGard Banner. Since adding UC4’s Banner Enterprise Job Scheduler, administrators a have enjoyed faster job processing, more efficient use of resources, a decrease in data entry errors, greater staff productivity, and the overall benefit of working with an automated, integrated system.

“Banner Enterprise Job Scheduler by UC4 has saved GMU a ton of time and a ton of resources while solving important data integrity issues.”
