Key challenges relate to how to capture, store and share information between the involved actors and across
organizational boundaries. The ultimate goal is to provide up-to-date,
reliable, and readily-available information to support collaboration,
decision-making, and provision of quality services and products. A number
of different types of enterprise systems are available for these purposes.To this end the course also aims to show how integrated processes create value, and demonstrate how these processes look in an enterprise system through hands-on lab exercises using any available ERP frameworks.

The course is organized around a project on “Information management
challenges and enterprise systems solutions in business process
innovation.” The project is organized in smaller groups (3-5 students) and
aims to innovate a real-world business process in a specific business
context through improved information management and enabled by specific
systems solutions. Each group must analyze the as-is-process, diagnose
information related challenges and options, and in conclusion provide
recommendations for how to innovate the process through specific system
options. The project is supported by lectures and readings on enterprise
systems & information management. Each student will receive one grade
based on the project report and an individual oral exam in which the
student defends the report and engages in discussion of the readings
related to the course.
