Overall Satisfaction with Ellucian Ethos

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This system is supposed to be built for higher education but doesn't have the capability to process overload for faculty. We had a consultant attempt to assist us without success. Overload is not a unique issue at our community college.

Pulling formatted schedules to print, there is no process for this in a functional format.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Workload reports
Tracking vendor information/payments/activity, etc.
Entering requisitions and receiving items

Cons

Overload should be a standard operation with multiple capabilities.
There needs to be a standard report to be able to pull a formatted instructor teaching schedule to post on offices
There needs to be a standard report to be able to pull a formatted classroom schedule to put on classrooms.

Return on Investment

Overload has to be processed manually
Independent Study has to be processed manually.

Usability

Part of our issues could be from the original set up, but also because the system does not allow flexibility.

Likelihood to Recommend

I've already shared my direct concerns. At the very beginning of set up, there should have been better direction, years ago.

The consultant that we had "helping" us try to figure out how to use the system for overload - hours were spent all to find out at the end that the system isn't even capable -- after asking the question at the beginning and being told it could. Very disappointing.
