Heimo Adelsberger, head of the department, Production and Operations Management, Institute for Computer Science and Business Information Systems at the University, explained that theoretical knowledge is put into practice and further deepened by means of case studies on integrated business process scenarios that participants carry out independently in the SAP system, which according to him, enables them to use and reinforce their training and fundamentally understand the system's integration within complex business processes. "After the successful completion of all case studies, participants receive a course certificate from the University of Duisburg-Essen. It emphasizes the practical application of know-how in addition to theoretical and methodical knowledge," said Adelsberger. [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ]
