PowerCampus by Ellucian is a complete ERP system specifically designed to deliver a tremendous, personalized education experience with a solution set that makes the most of your available resources.
Ellucian PowerCampus is purpose-built for small to mid-sized higher education institutions that need a comprehensive, student-centric ERP without the overhead of massive enterprise systems. Its standout feature is the tight integration of student information, academic records, and administrative workflows, all tailored for colleges and universities with limited IT resources. However, PowerCampus can feel dated compared to more modern, cloud-native competitors, and customization options are somewhat limited unless you invest in additional Ellucian services. Pricing is generally more accessible than Ellucian's flagship Banner or Colleague products, but institutions should be prepared for a moderate implementation effort and ongoing support needs.
