When Bushnell University, a private, Christian liberal arts college in Oregon, needed to modernize its ERP solution because it no longer kept pace with student expectations, the university turned to Jenzabar. In an unforeseen turn of events, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and pressured Bushnell University to reconsider its implementation schedule. Despite being given the option to delay the project, Bushnell University met with the Jenzabar team and remained confident in our ability to deliver on time and on budget.

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

We prioritize our commitment to delivering solutions on time and on budget. Join the Jenzabar Family and ensure your ERP implementation meets your needs and schedule.

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.”
