- Learning outcomes
- Nowadays, companies are using information systems supported by information technology to collect, store, manage, process, and retrieve financial and non-financial data in order to prepare insightful management reports that are used by business analysts, managers, accountants, and C level executives in their operational and strategic decisions. The course introduces students to the foundations of database management systems, the enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and the world of business intelligence (BI). If you attend this course, you can learn how to manage ERP selection and implementation projects, how to prepare and present management dashboards with Microsoft Excel and Power BI, and why you need to support your IT projects with BPR (business process reengineering) tools.
