Ellucian Banner & Colleague · Ethos integration

Your data should move itself.

BeBravo360 is an ETL platform for colleges and universities. It reads what your systems produce, applies your business rules, and writes clean records into Banner, Colleague and everything downstream — without a human retyping a field.

Two systems talking. No one typing.

Realtime Data Exchange · step 01/06

Working with our partner Smart Panda Tools, we receive the data, validate it, process the complete transcript, and return a result — matched, verified and ready to post.

Echo File · Reverse transfer

One flat file. Zero manual entry.

Live reverse transfer · step 01/06

Echo File is our reverse transfer engine. Institutions send a flat file — CSV, pipe-delimited, or whatever format their partner already exports — and map it once. From there, Echo File matches students and schools, dedupes against what's already on file, and writes clean records straight into your SIS. What used to take hundreds of hours of manual entry becomes a one-time setup.

How it works

Four stages, each observable. When something breaks you get the record, the rule and the reason — not a support ticket and a guess.

01

Ingest

We standardize what the source produces — API, file, evaluation feed or document — before a single record moves.

02

Transform

BeBravo360 validates against your institution's business logic. Bad records stop here, with a reason attached.

03

Route

Endpoints change. Mappings are versioned, so data keeps reaching the right destination after Ellucian ships an update.

04

Commit

Written to your Banner or Colleague. Checked for existence first — no duplicates, no overwrite surprises.

Built by the people who ran these systems

Our cofounders spent their careers inside Banner and Colleague before building anything on top of them. That is why BeBravo360 assumes your data is messy, your rules are local, and your offices are busy.
