Details
Enterprise systems are engineered information systems that consist of applications and associated information, forming the fundamental structure of organisational processes in most large organisations. Enterprise systems provide comprehensive administrative systems and help to automate and streamline business processes.
Enterprise systems have been extensively implemented worldwide, particularly in larger organisations. The enterprise system market exceeds US$78 billion and it has been one of the largest, fastest growing application software industries in the world. Organisations invest substantial resources in acquiring enterprise systems from vendors such as SAP, Mincom and Oracle, and expect positive impacts on their business operations. Thus, there is a need for graduates with strong knowledge of enterprise systems software and effective management of its implementation.
Course design
This major provides you with advanced knowledge that will enable you to specialise in an area of business operations such as logistics and finance. You will build an understanding of enterprise system processes and configuration activities which occur in companies using enterprise systems. You will understand the business activities that these systems support, preparing you for business, technical or system support roles. The course provides you with hands-on experience with successful enterprise systems so that you can put into practice the theory that supports business activities.
This course also seeks to develop logical thinking and the capability to understand and deal with complex systems, within a business management framework.
Career outcomes
Careers include business analyst, systems analyst, systems manager or database manager.
