Loyola University New Orleans Supports Digital Transformation with ERP Revamp

To help accelerate its digital transformation, Loyola University New Orleans is rolling out Ellucian's Colleague SaaS ERP solution. The technology will streamline previously manual processes for the university's finance and student information systems.

With the new system, Loyola students, faculty and staff will be able to communicate, find information and accomplish tasks from anywhere, at any time, according to a news announcement. In addition, integrated reporting capabilities and analytics will inform decision-making across the university.

"We are excited about the power of the Colleague platform to completely modernize our systems," said Tania Tetlow, president of the university, in a statement. "Loyola will become more nimble; processes will be more efficient and flexible; and faculty, staff and students will be able to do more with self-service, so that we can focus on our core strength: helping students succeed."
