The University enrolls 3,600 undergraduates in 60 majors, and a small number of graduate students. The 400-acre campus in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania is ranked among the most beautiful campuses by Princeton Review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University leadership team is dedicated to ensuring future generations have access to the same outstanding Bucknell experiences enjoyed by more than 50,000 alumni around the world. Innovative technology will support those endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-challenge\">Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-institutional-profile-1\">Bucknell was an early adopter of \u201ccloud first\u201d technology, recognizing the promise of innovation, scalability, and economies of scale. This strategy was applied when seeking a solution for \u201cprivate\u201d cloud services to support their ERP. With much of Bucknell\u2019s critical infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services (AWS), adding their ERP to the platform was an easy decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-institutional-profile-1\">The next step was to find an implementation partner who had in-depth experience with both Ellucian Banner and AWS. After careful consideration, Bucknell selected SIG\u2019s Cloud Migration Services to lead the implementation and provide on-going managed services of the cloud hosted environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution\">Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the ERP Cloud Migration Project successfully completed, the day-to-day operational support is now provided by the SIG\u2019s managed services team.
