Explanation
Introduction
Texas Tech uses Axiom to load data into Banner, almost always student data (admissions data, test scores, scholarship data, etc.).
Below is some information about Axiom from the manufacturer's website.
Automates data entry process
When loading data into Banner, Axiom automatically searches for potential duplicate records within your database, as well as validating data to assure database compliance. Erroneous data is highlighted and can be easily corrected in seconds. Axiom also provides you with a user interface for correcting or updating existing data that is uploaded in real-time to your BannerĀ® system.
Matching Records Search
When you're loading data into Banner using Axiom, the Matching Record Search searches your BannerĀ® database for existing records that match the incoming data. If matched, Axiom will update the existing record according to your business rules.
