Case Study: Trevecca Nazarene University achieves future-ready cloud modernization and 80% staff-time reallocation with Ellucian Colleague SaaS

Trevecca Nazarene University’s future-ready cloud strategy

Trevecca Nazarene University, a private four-year institution in Nashville, faced a stalled modernization effort with an on-premises system that was over a year behind updates and required excessive maintenance, leaving it exposed to outages, cyberattacks, and natural disasters. To address this, Trevecca partnered with Ellucian and moved to Ellucian Colleague SaaS on Ellucian Cloud to modernize its core systems.

Ellucian’s cloud solution provided continuous updates, robust disaster recovery, and the capacity to run multiple projects simultaneously, enabling a modern, reliable platform for innovation. As a result of the Ellucian deployment, Trevecca reallocated 80% of staff time from maintenance to high-impact projects, saved millions by eliminating data replication, and reduced data center needs by one-third.
