Anthology's products are effectively off the market — the company went through Chapter 11 and Ellucian acquired its ERP/SIS in January 2026, leaving anthology.com as a legacy support redirect.

Anthology is winding down: Chapter 11, SIS/ERP sold to Ellucian, site is a legacy redirect. Don't buy; migrate.
