You will understand the strategic role of Enterprise Systems in providing a platform for improved business operations and productivity. You will gain considerable hands on experience with an enterprise wide system, such as SAP, concentrating on the way in which such systems support integrated business processes. Through a combination of discussion and practical work, you will gain strong knowledge in both the organisational and technical aspects of Enterprise Systems and the implementation process. You will also understand the relationships between business process change and standard processes embedded in Enterprise Systems. |
