The Tennessee Board of Regents implemented a shared services model across its six universities and 13 community colleges to consolidate ERP systems and other services. This included a single Banner implementation, operational data store, and collaborative projects for system maintenance, business intelligence, hosting, and more. The shared services model has resulted in significant cost savings between $347,000 to $15 million per project while improving standardization, quality, and other outcomes. Future initiatives will focus on business process management and further Banner consolidation.
