What Others are Saying…
“Everything is done for you. We spent more time talking about mobile in meetings than it took for me to deploy it. You can tell that Ellucian put a lot of effort into this product, and I get the sense that they will keep expanding it.” -- Reuben Marcus, Manager of Portal and Web Services Fashion Institute of Technology
