Case Study: Becker College achieves paperless, automated workflows and cuts new‑hire processing from 2½ weeks to 1 day with Ellucian Workflow

Automated business processes save time and eliminate waste

Becker College, a 2,000‑student institution with campuses in Worcester and Leicester, struggled with fragmented, paper‑based processes—PDFs and Word forms, faxes, and ad‑hoc departmental workflows—without a single campus‑wide source for forms. To streamline workflows and centralize forms, Becker selected Ellucian and implemented Ellucian Workflow alongside its Ellucian Colleague ERP (integrated via Ellucian Ethos).

Ellucian delivered a cloud‑based, user‑friendly solution with drag‑and‑drop form building, automated data pulls from Colleague, role‑based auditing, and secure storage. The Ellucian implementation eliminated paper bottlenecks, coordinated workflows across departments, improved control and reporting, and produced measurable impact: new‑hire processing dropped from 2½ weeks to one day, alongside broader time savings and increased efficiency.
