- [Cloud Services and Solutions](https://davidkentconsulting.com/cloud-solutions/): We Deliver Cloud-Optimized Banner Systems YOUR Institution... YOUR Banner... In the Public Cloud Don't just lift and shift... Our cloud-optimized Banner systems are highly available, secure, reliable, easier to manage, and cost much less to operate compared to running on premise. With the Kent solution, all Banner infrastructure components are maintained as Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Infrastructure as Code (IaC) means that machine-readable definition files, rather than platform-specific configuration tools, can be executed to quickly and easily create and modify an entire new Banner environment in a matter of minutes.  Get all the benefits of Cloud without implementing the new Banner SaaS products. Keep YOUR Banner Still not done using all your "Future Proof" Banner 9 extensibility solutions you invested in?  Not ready to run your school the same baseline way every other Banner SaaS school runs theirs? We understand. Give us a call. How can we help you? Reduce Operating Costs If you are interested in reducing your operating costs while increasing security, improving disaster recovery, and improving system performance, let our team of experts optimize and re-platform YOUR Banner. We Can Help You Navigate the Higher Education Cloud and SaaS Landscapes Dive Deep into YOUR Data Not ready for another "purpose built" one-size-fits-all "analytics" tool every other Banner school is using that will be replaced with the next "future proof" analytics tool?  As an Oracle Partner, we can show you how to leverage real solutions so you can build the analytics YOUR school wants to see. Stay unique, stay competitive, stay informed on whats important to you and your students. Increase Cyber Security We leverage a Zero-Trust network at the core of our Cloud builds.  While no system is 100% safe from ever evolving cyber threats, we keep systems current, patched, and guarded with the latest security configurations and software. We know you don't have the same level of Cloud technical expertise and resources we can dedicate to security. Which is another reason migrating to Cloud makes sense for most institutions. Let's Talk Why Re-Implement Banner? If you have to rewrite all your Oracle SQL reports, re-engineer all your working integrations, adopt new-to-market products (Banner SaaS Voyager, Ethos User Provisioning, Data Connect, Insights, Apply, and Experience to name a few), lose all your customizations and modifications, possibly purchase new "SaaS Safe" 3rd party products while re-implementing over an 18-24 month time period ...why wouldn't you put out an RFP to ensure you're getting the best new solution for your institution? Or, you could keep YOUR Banner and migrate to Cloud in 4-6 months while other schools test and validate all those new products. Just sayin' Keep Control When you move to the new Banner SaaS platform, you lose all control of every aspect of operating your Banner. Yes, your users can still configure Banner, but you can only control what can be accessed via the Banner Experience Admin Pages. That's it.  You LOSE ALL direct SQL access. You LOSE CONTROL over your upgrade and patching schedule. You LOSE ALL your custom code, jobs, and code modifications. You LOSE ALL ability to leverage other AWS Solutions in your Banner SaaS tenant - because you don't have access to the tenant.Or, you could keep YOUR Banner and migrate to Cloud in 4-6 months.   Our Higher Education Services are customized to fit your unique needs.
