The U-Link
The U-Link project spans thirty months; the initial implementation involves five Banner modules, which are scheduled to go live in phases beginning July 1, 2008. The project ends in June 2009 with the release of the final Banner module. In addition to these five Banner modules, Missouri State University will be implementing a Luminis Internet portal, AppWorx workload automation software, Xtender imaging software, and enhanced query and reporting tools to improve the way information is accessed. The final integrated system will operate off of a relational database and corresponding data warehouse, simplifying and improving the way daily operations are conducted across the Missouri State University campuses.
Information specific to the implementation of the five Banner modules and supporting software can be found by selecting from the navigation menu to the left, including information about the implementation teams, schedules, progress reports, and training opportunities. Information is added and updated continually as teams proceed through the implementation of their respective modules, so please feel free to check back regularly!
