Integrating SAP into a Systems Analysis course

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am part of a group putting together a proposal to integrate SAP into our business school courses and join the UA. The faculty do not have any training in SAP, but we are looking to find out as much as we can about possible course modules for our proposal.

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or Best Practices for integrating into SAP into a Systems Analysis course for MIS students (not Computer science students)? For our proposal we are are looking to develop a timeline for different levels of integration at the first, third and fifth year of our SAP use. What would be the best materials to integrate into a 15 week semester undergrade course where the emphasis is on the system development lifecyle up to, but not including hands-on system design?

From scanning the overviews of library materials, it looks as though the following might be possibilities (although as a guest I don't have access to the full materials):

Using Solution Manager (for the project mgt component of the course)

Business Process Integration Overview

Concepts in ERP using Fitter Snacker

ERP simulation game

Netweaver workflow exercises

Any feedback and tips for a starting point would be appreciated.

Hi Priscilla

I am littel confused about your specific request. If you want to focus on the system devlopment lifecycle and not have hands on then the majority of the amterila you have identified is not suitable. I would suggest looking at the ASAP methodology which the sAP specific methodology. It has a lot of rich content and can be downloaded. My blog includes details about this as well as other useful information.

Hope this helps
