Fundamentals of Business Information Systems - Summer 2010

19 episodes

This course presents an overview of information systems in a modern organization and their strategic importance in supporting business processes. The strategic value of business computing and the underlying concepts needed to understand and guide system implementation are discussed. Common business processes such as order-to-cash and procure-to-pay will be presented and conducted using SAP ERP. CSCI 3720 is designed to make technology-focused students literate in business concepts, terminology, and processes, and introduce non-technology-focused students to enterprise information systems. Since many students are advanced in their technical knowledge, SAP ERP will be used to bridge the gap between technology and business practice. A business simulation--ERPsim--is used to provide students with experience in diverse facets of SAP ERP in a manner that approximates its use in a realistic business setting. Students gain experience with executing the entire cash-to-cash cycle. (Begin with outside investment and a bank loan, and execute various business processes within a manufacturing enterprise to generate cash flow and produce profit). **Attention Podcast listeners from off campus** Links to slides and other resources can be found on the left side of this page.
