Credits: 3 Class: 3 Lab: 0
Prerequisite(s): A grade of “C” or better in MIS 3302 or ACC 3304 (or Instructor approval for non-business majors).
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical and practical issues related to the application of enterprise systems within organizations. The main focus of this course is to demonstrate how enterprise systems integrate information and organizational processes across functional areas with a unified system comprised of a single database and shared reporting tools. Enterprise systems, by their multidimensional integrative nature, offer the depth of functionality and breadth of integration to demonstrate how global operations of organizations are managed. Thus, students will gain an appreciation of the scope of enterprise systems and the motivation for implementing them. SAP software will be used by students to complete an integrated project, which illustrates how enterprise systems work.
