Case Study: Temple University achieves a centralized data hub for student success with Ellucian Ethos and Banner

How Temple University is investing in data analytics

Temple University, a 4‑year public institution of over 15,000 students, needed to collect and use timely data to deliver personalized, consumer‑grade student experiences and reduce administrative burden. To modernize its campus IT and create a reusable data foundation, Temple partnered with Ellucian, deploying Ellucian Banner as its core administrative system and Ellucian Ethos as the integration and data‑hub layer.

Ellucian implemented a centralized data hub that integrates Banner with LMS and other systems via Ethos, enabling real‑time data capture, analytics dashboards, and predictive models. The solution reduced friction in information collection, helped Temple gather key student metrics, and produced analytics that identify at‑risk students for earlier intervention — demonstrating measurable improvements in student success and operational efficiency using Ellucian’s platform.
