Project Leadership
APEL Consulting provides full-spectrum project leadership for institutions implementing or upgrading Banner® ERP systems. We take a proactive approach to planning, coordinating, and executing every stage of your ERP transformation. From stakeholder alignment and requirements gathering to vendor management and milestone tracking, we ensure your institution stays on course. Our team brings structure to complexity, removing bottlenecks and delivering progress that aligns with institutional goals and student-centric outcomes.
Governance & Risk Management
A successful Banner project demands more than just technical execution — it requires strong governance and robust risk management. We build custom governance frameworks tailored to your institutional culture, complete with escalation paths, defined roles, and clear accountability structures. Our consultants identify risk factors early and implement controls to keep your project out of crisis mode. We ensure leadership visibility through real-time dashboards and communication protocols that foster trust and alignment across departments.
Post- Launch Optimization
The go-live is only the beginning. APEL Consulting continues to support your institution through post-implementation optimization — refining system configurations, resolving integration issues, and improving end-user adoption. We analyze performance gaps and turn feedback into actionable improvement strategies. Whether it's aligning reporting tools with leadership KPIs or expanding automation across workflows, our optimization services ensure your Banner environment evolves to meet your long-term strategic needs.
