Bushnell University, a private, Christian liberal arts college in Oregon, turned to Jenzabar when it needed to modernize its ERP solution, which lacked many of the tools and resources that the university needed in order to keep pace with student expectations. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Bushnell University was given the option to delay its Jenzabar implementation, but, after speaking with the Jenzabar team, decided against it.

Instead, the Jenzabar team worked closely with Bushnell University to press forward with the deployment and get everything up and running within the expected scope and budget. During the process, we met regularly with the university—remotely—to discuss the plan, how to set up the system, how to train users on the new platform, and how operations should look after the implementation.

We didn’t let the COVID-19 pandemic stop us from deploying our solution on time and on budget. Wouldn’t you expect the same?

Join the Jenzabar Family and ensure your ERP implementation meets your time and budget expectations.

What challenges did the university face before partnering with Jenzabar?

• Its existing solution was not higher education-oriented.
• The lack of best practices and experience led to longer, inefficient processes and workarounds.
• Minimal online self-service capabilities left students wanting more.

After partnering with Jenzabar, the university was able to:

• Implement Jenzabar One 100% on time, on budget during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Consolidate core systems to minimize data silos and streamline operations.
• Expand its self-service capabilities to address students’ online needs.
• Build a long-term, experienced consulting partnership with Jenzabar.

“It has been refreshing to work with an experienced team that understands the product, can relay best practices that align with our goals, and can deliver such a robust system within our time and budget expectations.”
