IData Featured Service: Banner Upgrades

Colleges and universities who have modified SunGard’s Banner baseline code (either by modifying baseline objects directly or by creating a copy of the object and modifying this copy) are often faced with extra challenges when a new release of Banner is delivered. IData is offering a special suite of technical and implementation services for schools that need some extra help to make the transition to Banner 8.x. These services include:

DBA Services
