ABOUT
Building Connections, Improving Systems and Services
The Ontario Business Users Group (OBUG) is an emerging network dedicated to building a collaborative community for Ontario colleges and universities using Ellucian’s Banner or Colleague systems. As part of the Canadian Ellucian Users Group (CEUG), OBUG promotes shared learning, practical discussions, and best practices to improve student services and operational efficiency across institutions.
We envision a supportive network where professionals in similar roles connect to share knowledge, resources, and solutions, helping institutions leverage Ellucian solutions effectively through continuous learning and advocacy.
Executive Committee
We’re excited to announce the newly acclaimed OBUG Executive Committee! As we continue building our governance structure, there are still opportunities to get involved.
We invite Ellucian users from both colleges and universities to join us, whether by leading or contributing as part of this growing community, to help shape the mission, vision, and activities of this initiative.
If you’re interested in participating, whether on the executive committee, as a member, or as an engaged participant, please complete the Join OBUG form and become part of a community advancing practical solutions together.
