Implementation Information
Below are a few miscellaneous items for the Banner 9 implementation. The particular item of importance would be the trainings section, ITS will be listing upcoming Banner 9 trainings as we schedule them.
Project Teams
There will be several teams forming for the implementation of Banner 9 here at NECC. There will be a broader team overseeing the implementation of the individual Banner 9 Administrative (INB) and Self-Service (SSB) applications. There will also be smaller "sub" teams forming to validate, pilot and test functionality of the applications as they're released.
For more information on the current and future teams of the implementation project, please see the "Team" page.

Implementation Components
The following 7 components are the major parts of the Banner 9 implementation at NECC.
Knowledge Gathering
This component is comprised of ITS exploring, planning and mapping the implementation of Banner 9. There are many new pieces that come with Banner 9 and ITS needs to connect the dots on how they all work together and then map our current environment to a new Banner 9 environment.

Server
Banner 9 will require many new servers to run all the applications needed for our implementation. Many servers will be phased out and new servers brought up.
Database
Before we can begin to install Banner 9 applications, work on our Banner and other databases needs to occur. This work includes the migration to new database servers as well as upgrading our environment to Oracle 12c.
Application
Banner 9 will require all new installations of both our INB and SSB appliations. Banner 9 will have an all new look and feel to both portions of Banner.
Development
Development will play a large roll in the success of the Banner 9 upgrade project here at NECC. Banner 9 offers many new ways to create and extend applications that don’t impact the baseline code.
Verification
The verification component of the Banner 9 implementation will be a continuous component. It will span all other components, it will involve user testing, training, acceptance and verification of Banner 9. It will also involve verification that Banner 9 works with all our current 3rd party applications and integrations.
