FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Flexible Workbench work?

Rather than requiring an institution to retain separate dedicated resources for every skill, the Flexible Workbench provides access to a shared pool of functional and technical specialists. Depending on the work, this may include Banner or Colleague functional consultants, technical developers, DBAs, integration specialists, reporting resources, QA, architects, and other Higher Education SMEs.

With traditional staff augmentation, the institution generally assigns and manages individual consultants. CampusCore is designed as a managed delivery model: Kastech coordinates approved work, assigns the appropriate specialists, tracks utilization and dependencies, applies delivery controls, and remains accountable for execution and transition.

For ongoing requirements, CampusCore can be structured around a predictable monthly capacity model, such as a defined monthly pool of service hours delivered through the Flexible Workbench. Larger modernization, integration, migration, or other initiatives can be separately scoped as project-based services. This gives institutions predictable baseline capacity while retaining the ability to scale specialist support when priorities change.

Yes. CampusCore AMS, Modern, Connect and Advise are not isolated offerings. Institutions can use one service stream or combine them based on their priorities—for example, ongoing Banner support together with integration modernization and selected strategic initiatives. 

No. The Flexible Workbench is specifically designed to provide access to multiple Ellucian competencies without requiring the institution to maintain a dedicated resource for every specialty. Capacity and specialist involvement can be aligned to the institution’s agreed service model and changing priorities.
