UKG and Ellucian Partnership: Connecting Workforce and Student Data

A new integration between UKG’s HR platform and Ellucian’s student information and ERP systems marks an important step forward for data connectivity in higher education.

As universities continue to focus on operational efficiency and smarter use of data, this partnership aims to better align workforce information with student systems, creating a more unified institutional view.

What the Integration Delivers

The collaboration brings together UKG’s human capital management capabilities with Ellucian’s widely used higher education technology platforms. By integrating HR data with student information and enterprise systems, institutions can:

- Improve data accuracy across departments

- Reduce manual data entry and duplication

- Strengthen workforce planning through better visibility

- Align staffing decisions with student demand and enrolment trends

For professional services teams, particularly those in HR, finance, planning, and IT, improved system integration can streamline reporting and reduce administrative burden.

Why This Matters for Universities

Higher education institutions are under increasing financial and operational pressure. Disconnected systems often create inefficiencies, slow decision-making, and increase compliance risk.

By connecting workforce and student data more effectively, universities can:

- Make more informed strategic decisions

- Respond faster to changes in enrolment patterns

- Enhance compliance and reporting capabilities

- Improve the overall employee and student experience

The Bigger Picture

Digital transformation remains a priority across the sector. As institutions look to modernise infrastructure and optimise resources, integrated platforms are becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity.

The UKG–Ellucian partnership signals continued investment in solutions tailored specifically to higher education, with professional services teams at the centre of implementation and impact.
