Tulsa Community College To Implement SunGard HE Banner

Tulsa Community College in Oklahoma is deploying several technologies from SunGard Higher Education to help enhance student services and improve administrative processes. The college had already used portal solutions from SunGard HE and is now expanding its "unified digital campus" by implementing Banner administrative solutions.

Said Tulsa CTO Barbara Brown Vrana: "Students have a lot of choices about where to enroll for higher education. The image we will project by using the solutions from SunGard Higher Education will help demonstrate to prospects that we can provide them with the services they need to succeed, and this will help give us a competitive edge.  And our new digital campus will allow us to enhance and strengthen services for our existing students and help us gain significant efficiencies in our administrative processes."

Tulsa Community College serves about 27,000 college credit students annually and 6,200 continuing education and corporate training students. It comprises four campuses and one conference center in Oklahoma.
