Creatrix Campus Curriculum Management System vs Ellucian Banner Finance

Creatrix Campus Curriculum Management System is a web and API platform for higher education institutions to plan, design, map, and review curricula centrally. Course designers, curriculum managers, faculty, staff, institutional management, and accreditors can collaborate on curricula, catalogs, and syllabi, then review and approve proposals and revisions. The system maps graduate attributes and program outcomes and compares learning outcomes across modules, terms, and years. A no-code workflow designer supports editable, step-by-step approvals. Version control, historical status tracking, and unlimited archiving preserve curriculum records. Current and historical curricula can be centralized for accreditation alignment and export. Creatrix says its integration platform connects with learning management systems, student information systems, accounts, and ledgers, listing Moodle and Canvas among supported integrations. A shared data model drives APIs and integrations. Cloud offerings receive third-party SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, with reports available under NDA, and the company reports alignment with ISO/IEC 27001:2013. Pricing is customized by quote.
