Syniti Data Replication [2 licenses], Part No. AMSP0010062; Syniti Annual Maintenance and Support Plan (AMSP) for period 04/16/2025 to 04/15/2026; The attendance tracking project is a top priority in the student retention mission of the University. In support of the attendance tracking project that was initially kicked-off in 2014, Information Technology Services (ITS) implemented a scanning system comprised of our Ellucian Banner system with the student and section information to allow real time integration with our AS400 TotalCard system, to support the scanning software in classrooms where card readers are located. In implementing this system, ITS had to evaluate and determine the proper tool that would allow the Banner Oracle database to synchronize data to and from the TotalCard DB2 database. MSU’s TotalCard vendor exclusively uses Syniti is a database replication tool offered by BackOffice Associates Software. Because of this requirement by our TotalCard vendor, ITS purchased and installed the Syniti software. The renewal of Software Annual Maintenance and Support Plan (AMSP) will give ITS continued access to the Syniti support team as well as upgrades to the software and documentation. BackOffice Associates Software is the only possible source for this maintenance renewal. ITS spoke with BackOffice Associates Software and have confirmed in writing that our AMSP Service for Syniti software can only be renewed through them.
