SIS migrationQuercus to Innealla

Moving from Quercus to Innealla.

Ellucian Quercus has been the student record for many Irish private and professional colleges. When the real process lives in spreadsheets beside it, Innealla replaces Quercus plus Excel: fixed-price migration, parallel run, and Moodle connected without re-keying.

What you get

Your Quercus data, imported and reconciled, in a student information system built for Irish colleges.

One student record from application to transcript, a fixed-price migration that imports your Quercus data, and a supplier you can actually talk to. Your current system stays the source of truth until cutover, and we prove the numbers before anyone switches off the old login.

Why Irish colleges leave Quercus

Ellucian Quercus has been the student record for many Irish private and professional colleges for years. Moves start when support, product direction or the spreadsheet estate around Quercus stop matching how the college actually runs fees, agents and QQI programmes.

  • Core processes living in Excel beside Quercus: agents, sponsors, instalments, attendance
  • Support and release pace that no longer matches a private college intake calendar
  • MessageLink / LiveLink integrations that are fragile or only half finished
  • Need for a modern staff UI and AI query on the live record, not another Ellucian bolt-on
  • Group structures that want one product with a separate instance per brand
What Innealla does

How we take you off Quercus

We have moved Irish colleges off Quercus before. The usual shape is a Quercus export plus the spreadsheets that grew around it, graded in discovery, then loaded into Innealla with a parallel run.

  • Discovery grades Quercus tables and the side spreadsheets A to G
  • Students, programmes, modules, enrolments, results, awards and fee history mapped with transforms logged
  • Parallel run against Quercus before cutover between intakes
  • Agent, sponsor and instalment rules configured in Innealla instead of Excel
  • Moodle and CRM on the Integration Hub from day one

Replace the Quercus-plus-Excel questions

Staff ask Innealla about applicants, fees and enrolments instead of hunting across Quercus and shared drives. How we run AI on college systems.

Is Innealla the right move off Quercus?

Usually when you are an Irish private or professional college that has outgrown Quercus plus spreadsheets and wants one system registry and finance both trust.

  • Colleges whose real process now lives in Excel beside Quercus
  • Providers under QQI or partner-university rules who need cleaner progression and fees
  • Estates already on Moodle that need enrolments to flow without re-keying
  • Groups consolidating several Quercus or spreadsheet estates

After Quercus: stop re-keying into Moodle

Enrolments and grades should leave the student record once. MessageLink half-builds are replaced with Hub connectors we maintain.

Quercus migration questions

Can you import Quercus and the spreadsheets around it?
Yes. Discovery grades both. Spreadsheet columns for agents, sponsors and instalments are mapped into Innealla fields so they stop living outside the student record.
Have you done Quercus moves in Ireland before?
Yes. Irish private and professional colleges are the usual Quercus pattern we see: export, side sheets, parallel run, then Moodle connected.
What about MessageLink integrations?
We replace them with Integration Hub connectors for Moodle, Salesforce or Zoho and finance. Anything unique is scoped at discovery.
How long does it take?
Most colleges are live in under two months from discovery when the data grades cleanly, including parallel run.
