Modern Campus said the new partnership will make it easier for institutions using technology from both companies to integrate the software.

Edtech giant Ellucian is allowing the Burning Glass Institute research group to use its data for workforce development research.

CampusLogic, which sells financial-aid software, is Ellucian's first acquisition since Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners took ownership last year.

Ellucian Experience, Ellucian's single sign-on and software development platform, is now available outside the U.S.

Ellucian and McGraw Hill both announced changes in ownership this week. McGraw Hill was sold for $4.5 billion, but the Ellucian sale's terms were not announced.

Loyola University New Orleans leaders are modernizing decades-old information system by switching to a cloud-based solution from Ellucian.

After more than 20 years at Dell Technologies, Steve Harris will join Ellucian's executive leadership team to lead its revenue generation operations.

Executives say the new platform is designed to centralize student data, save them time while logging in and establish a development hub for edtech companies.

As interest in higher education wanes, the software company Ellucian says it plans to offer students $10 million in scholarships by April 2021.
