Connecting RENXT to Colleague?

Jillian Smith

Hi Higher Education RENXT Community Members - I have a customer looking to connect RENXT with Colleague (their central campus system). I'd love community input on how customers are currently doing this with the use of SKY API, middleware, etc. Your feedback is valuable to helping this customer and other community members effectively connect best-in-class systems like RENXT to the central campus system. Thank you in advance! Jillian (Blackbaud higher education account executive)

@Jillian Smith Did you find any specific answers for Colleague? I'm very curious as to what you found out! I know the usual connectors include IOM from Omatic, Importacular from Zeidman Development, SmartTHING, etc. but I haven't heard of any specific options for Colleague.

@Jillian Smith Omatic Software has an excellent solution for connecting RE NXT to Ellucian Colleague for posting transactional data captured in RE to the Colleague GL. If that's your need, we've got you covered. It allows RE to be a true subsidiary ledger to Colleague Finance, and makes reconciling a breeze.

If you are looking for other integrations between RE NXT and Colleague, it would be interesting to hear your use-cases so we can best determine if and how Omatic can help.

Regards and happy 2024,

Stu Manewith, CFRE, Omatic Software

@Christine Robertson – always happy to share this kind of information. Omatic's financial integration solutions can connect RE NXT to any non-Blackbaud general ledger; of course, we see Ellucian Colleague and Ellucian Banner mostly in the higher education sector.

We can also connect those organizations using non-Blackbaud CRM systems with FE NXT.
