Anthology Student Users

Anthology Student was acquired.
Your SIS doesn't have to be.

When the core system your campus depends on changes ownership overnight, the confidence you once had in your SIS's future can shake, fast. You're not just managing software. You're stewarding stability for students, faculty, and the teams who rely on you every day. 

When the future of your SIS becomes uncertain, leadership isn't about waiting. It's about choosing a partner who understands the stakes and knows how to move you forward.

THE REALITY YOU'RE NAVIGATING

The SIS You Chose is No Longer the SIS You Have

Ellucian's acquisition of Anthology's SIS portfolio brought more than 260 institutions into a new ecosystem overnight. What happens next remains unclear. And unclear isn't a risk most institutions can afford to take. 

But here's the real story: you're expected to stay steady and strategic, even when everything around your SIS is shifting. And that's a heavy lift to carry.

We're here to lighten it. 

Acquisitions bring change.
Sometimes quickly.
Sometimes quietly.
But always inevitably.

 

When a mission-critical system like your SIS changes ownership, the impact isn't just technical. It's emotional. It's strategic. And it touches every corner of your institution. 

Because with change comes questions. And with questions comes risk:

  • Will support truly remain consistent over the next year?
  • Will the product roadmap shift after integration begins?
  • Will your teams face disruptions you can't plan for yet?
  • Will Ellucian push you into a solution that doesn't fit your needs?
  • Will students feel the downstream effects? 

The truth is simple: uncertainty is one of the most expensive things an institution can carry in time, trust, and operational stability.

And leaders like you don't wait for clarity. You create it.
