Kishwaukee College Moves to Ellucian Colleague SaaS

Illinois's Kishwaukee College is modernizing its administrative systems with an Ellucian Colleague SaaS rollout that will bring AI-powered tools to human resources, finance, and student management. The student information system and enterprise resource planning suite will enable the institution to scale resources to drive student success, improve user experiences, and optimize workflows, according to a news announcement.

The implementation aligns with the college's strategic focus on student outcomes, institutional effectiveness, and resource management. The new ERP and SIS will centralize and integrate campus systems, enabling more efficient processing and user experiences for staff, the announcement said.

"The power of Colleague SaaS has been transformative for our institution," said Robert McGarry, executive director of Campus Operations and Technology at the college, in a statement. "The smooth implementation process ensured we could seamlessly transition to the new system without disrupting our operations. This platform empowers our faculty and staff with intuitive tools and centralized information, allowing us to support our students better and remain responsive to the priorities of our community."

"We are thrilled to see Kishwaukee College now running their operations in the cloud with Colleague SaaS," commented Ellucian Chief Product and Technology Officer Mike Wulff. "This migration marks a significant milestone in Kish's digital transformation journey, enabling the college to serve its students more effectively. This modernization streamlines the college's technology operations and empowers the institution to innovate and adapt as the higher education landscape evolves."
