Sungard Managed Hosting

What do you like best?

Sungard's software (AKA Banner) is a leader with higher ed and public sector clients. Therefore the connectivity is good, and that's helpful when comparing notes with other education colleagues.

What do you dislike?

It's clunky for some functions, and there are a couple programming errors that have existed for over 5 years that haven't been addressed. That's frustrating.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Be sure your internal customers are open to change and your IT department is well-staffed. Implementation takes months (as with any large installation).

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

When looking for an ERP systetm, you want it to be a one stop shop. Sungard is. It doesn't do everything well, but it does try.
