| Learning outcomes |
Integrated business information systems support entrepreneurial tasks (including planning, control, reports, ) and processes (including in financial accounting, controlling, human resources, purchasing, warehousing, production and sales) with the help of standardized software systems and enable timely analyses and optimizations. At the same time, AI (artificial intelligence) is also becoming increasingly important here. The main aim of this course is to demonstrate the potential and importance of integrated information systems using the SAP S/4 HANA ERP system as an example. Students will be able to classify IT-supported solutions using the example of ERP systems in terms of their functionality and embedding in business processes. Essential current and future technical and economic framework conditions are understood and can be incorporated into the selection and implementation process of these software and IT systems. Students will be able to reproduce and analyze the basic data and application structures of standardized integrated information systems. They will be able to analyze, model and explain the requirements and conditions of individual systems for the support of business processes and will know and understand essential concepts, methods and applications of integrated information systems (horizontal and vertical integration, implementation paths, technical framework conditions). Students are able to categorize ERP systems in terms of their functionality and embedding in business processes. Essential framework conditions are understood and can be incorporated into the selection and implementation processes of ERP software. Students can describe and analyze basic standardized integrated information systems. They can analyze, model and explain the requirements and conditions of the individual systems for supporting business processes.
The aim of the seminar is to map a complete business process from sales order to invoicing, including the required master data (customers, suppliers, materials, etc.) with the help of SAP S/4 HANA. The functionalities are taught in a hands-on manner on the system using exercises and case studies. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance from the FHV, which can be attached to job applications, for example. |
