SunGard Higher Education announced Monday the newest release of Banner Unified Digital Campus (UDC), which includes the Banner 8 administrative suite.

This newest release, according to SunGard HE, is designed to help higher education institutions reduce costs, increase productivity, and streamline their processes. The Banner 8 administrative suite offers new features that the company said will improve fiscal accountability, help enforce compliance regulations throughout the campus environment, and manage capacity, among other things.

The Banner UDC was tested at the company's Unified Digital Campus Test Center (UDC Test Center) prior to release. The center, announced last November, simulates real-world campus environments and is used to test configurations of the system prior to customer implementation.

    Why Cross-Skilling Is the Smartest Investment a Campus IT Team Can Make

    Higher education IT teams are being asked to keep pace with AI, cloud, and cybersecurity on flat budgets, and hiring a specialist for every new need can no longer keep up. Building adjacent skills across the people already on staff creates more agile, resilient teams that move faster and retain talent without adding headcount. Pluralsight makes the strategy work through skill assessments, tailored learning paths, hands-on labs and sandboxes, and microlearning that fits into the flow of work.
