Case Study: Manhattan College improves IT services and student support with Google for Education

Manhattan College cuts datacenter costs and deploys Banner 9 in Google Cloud with Google for Education

Manhattan College, a higher education institution, faced significant IT challenges due to its small, generalist staff. The college lacked the economies of scale for larger projects, making on-premise solutions inefficient and expensive. To overcome this, the college turned to Google for Education and its Google Cloud platform to improve its information technology services.

By implementing Google Cloud solutions like Compute Engine, the college migrated services and deployed critical applications such as Banner 9. This shift resulted in excellent performance, high availability, and a level of redundancy they could not have achieved on-premise. The Google for Education solution freed IT staff from datacenter maintenance, allowing them to focus on user-facing initiatives and providing measurable benefits to end-users at a fraction of the previous cost.
