Banner XE: The next generation of Banner
35
What is Banner XE?• XE = eXtensible Ecosystem = Ellucian’s technology
strategy emphasizing extensibility, configuration, usability, openness, scalability, and evolution
• Uses common web 2.0 user experience• Uses standards based, open source, modern
technologies (HTML 5, CSS3, JS)• No Java plug-in needed!!!!• Modularized to eliminate larger system dependencies
and be more plug and play• Will coexist alongside Banner 8 during the transition
Linda Johansen, IT Apps, Shared Components
36
XE at UNM• XE requires a significant change in technical
architecture. Preparations began two years ago• Just completed a year-long proof-of-concept
project to design and prototype the new architecture
• XE is modular and will be implemented gradually; will co-exist with current Banner
• Have begun the first implementation, planned for October 2015, more to follow

Banner 9 vs. Banner 8• Banner 8 is the version we are using today• Banner 9 (XE) uses the same database, same
tables, same logic, same functionality, but has different look and feel
• Some Banner 9 pages are completely new and different, some are simply “translated” into the new format
