Why?

WPI has transitioned all operations out of Banner and into other systems of record (e.g., Workday, PowerFAIDS, Salesforce). 

Impact

Access to the Banner database will no longer be available as of 02/28/2023.  Banner legacy data required for records retention, compliance, and reporting purposes are moving to other systems of record and to AWS Redshift.

Benefits

Benefits include cost savings from annual Banner and Oracle licenses and support agreements.  Banner legacy data is preserved and archived for future access. 

Action Needed

Department leads are working with IT to transition legacy data from Banner to other systems of record for future access.
