As Financial Aid was going live, a major bug was discovered that had not been uncovered during testing. Miami is working with the vendor to implement a fix and Financial Aid plans to complete their transition to Banner 9 in January.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A major upgrade to our imaging solution (BDM Xtender) was completed at the end of October. This upgrade was required for the Banner 9 project but affected all users of the imaging system (including those still using Banner 8).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">High-level Bursar staff completed Accounts Receivable (AR) training the first week of November, and testing has begun.

Plus, discussions are also beginning for testing and training planning for Registrar and Admissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are also beginning to develop timelines and plans for implementing the Self-Service pieces of Banner 9 (formerly known as BannerWeb). These are the pieces used by the majority of staff, faculty, and students at Miami. Finance Self-Service will be the first of these components to be installed in Spring, 2018. The remaining Self-Service modules will be installed later in 2018 and into 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Banner 9 implementation project is continuing on schedule and under budget.
