This Posting is a general request for information on: SCT (Systems & Computer Technology Corp) BANNER Oracle/Ingres and how they apply, well or otherwise, to the problems of data processing for University Administrative use. Background. The University of Sussex, in common with a reasonable number of other UK Universities is looking at major changes to its administrative data processing. We have seen presentations of the BANNER product and have been impressed with what we've seen. What we have have not been able to do yet is to study the product in depth, nor to speak with existing users. So, if you have first hand experience of BANNER, or could point us to someone who has, then we'd be *very* grateful if you could contact the undersigned. Our studies are not restricted to BANNER. Really what we are after is a packaged solution (or set of solutions) that deal with a university's administrative problems and are based in (on?) a machine independent relational database product such as Ingres or Oracle, and which make extensive use of standard SQL. Again, if you have first hand experience, or could point us to someone who has, then we really would be *very* grateful if you could contact the undersigned.
