Case Study: Bates College streamlines catalog management and Banner integration with CourseLeaf

Bates College cuts catalog admin work with CourseLeaf and a 1-year temporary hire replacement

Bates College, a four-year private institution using Ellucian Banner, faced significant challenges with a previous vendor's academic catalog software. The promised integration with Banner failed, causing data synchronization issues and requiring heavy manual work. The system was clunky, offered low value for high effort, and nearly necessitated hiring an additional staff member to maintain it.

The college implemented CourseLeaf CAT for its academic catalog. CourseLeaf provided a seamless Banner integration, eliminating data overwrite problems and manual processes. The solution streamlined workflows, saved staff time, and became the definitive, trusted information source for the entire campus community. The ongoing implementation of CourseLeaf CIM is expected to bring further automation and strategic efficiency.
