I currently work in the Office of Student Life & Learning, utilizing the Student Life and Housing modules in my work with students and our conduct process. I was previously in the Registrar's Office, using the Registration, Advising, and Retention modules. Jenzabar ONE provides one system by which all administrative departments on campus can access the same basic student data that may be necessary to their processes, but at the same time have a module unique to the functions and processes of their specific department. This allows for independent office efficiency but also smooth collaboration of shared data as necessary, which allows for increased timeliness and effectiveness in joint projects. I have always been pleased by the intuitive functionality within each system that allows for easy user onboarding, as well as navigation and work within them.

We've been Jenzabar clients for years and are just now upgrading to J1. As our main SIS, we rely on J1 for all of our student needs, reporting, and processing. We utilize this system to ensure our students have access to the information needed through JICS as well as accurate and timely registration processes.

We are currently using Jenzabar ONE to support student advising. It easily provides advisors the information needed to support our students. It is easy to use. It would be more helpful if there was more guidance on features available and if students who are not current could also be seen.

We currently have partially implemented the Advising in Jenzabar ONE. It is so easy to see the advisees, their history, what is needed to complete degree requirements. As long as the trees are set up correctly, degree audits are much simpler. Highly recommend this product and Jenzabar overall. I've worked with this company since 1998.

I currently use Jenzabar for assigning rooms, changing room assignments, checking registration status, checking gpas, checking contact information, and putting charges on accounts for disciplinary fines. It has helped me to be more productive because everything is self-explanatory and not difficult to navigate. The modules all work together so if I'm in one and have to go to another, all I have to do is choose "Previous Name" without having to key in the name to look the resident up all over again. This alone saves me lots of time when I have hundreds of residents to work with.

Jenzabar ONE has been a valued partner for our College. We have transitioned from Jenzabar CX which we had for nearly 21 years. We made the decision to select Jenzabar One as our next generation of SIS/ERP platform in 2020 after conducting interviews with other providers. We found for the quality, features and development roadmap, Jenzabar One was the correct choice. The Jenzabar family has been working with us during the past 24 months to educate us on the Jenzabar One platform and features that will bring a new era of communications for our campus as we better understand how to interact with new and future students. The Jenzabar One value proposition of features to cost made the choice that much easier for our institution to continue our long relationship with the company. The Jenzabar SaaS and managed services team worked tirelessly to ensure our Go Live target of October 2022 was achieved. The Jenzabar project managers and technical professionals were instrumental for coordinating our data migration and helping with our problem-solving during the data conversion. We believe the new era of hosted services help provide better accessibility to our platform while providing security and comfort for data protection and stability. I highly recommend any institution seeking to modernize their SIS/ERP consider Jenzabar One as a solid solution!

Jenzabar ONE is our SIS. We have many additional software platforms that connect to Jenzabar, sharing information, which can sometimes be challenging. Support is great at helping us work through these issues.

Being an IT team member we are called upon to use Jenzabar One throughout of day. We assign permissions in Desktop as well as J1 Web; solve errors (which are usually user errors) and essentially train staff on how to use the product. With each upgraade we are searching for more ways to assist our staff in using this product and cut down on manual processes.

Jenzabar is the core platform for all areas of our university. It runs multiple departments including admissions, registration, housing, events, student life, alumni office, accounting, financial aid, and advising. This is our one source of truth on who our students are, grades, billing, and a host of other functions. It really is the primary place that we put all information on students and how we manage their progression through our programs.
