ResumoThis paper describes the design, delivery and outcomes at one university when using SAP's enterprise resource planning (ERP) software in a management information systems (MIS) course. The course provides students hands on experience using SAP software to learn how an ERP system could help a company streamline business processes, improve communication among departments, and facilitate sharing of information. Topics include joining SAP's University Alliances (UA) program, using SAP's University Competency Center (data center), instructors' education and preparation for students, administration during class, and learning outcomes. Discussed are successes and failures when incorporating SAP ERP software in an online distance education class. Also discussed is a more successful alternative using a simulator for SAP ERP. Other universities and colleges considering, or having implemented, SAP ERP into their curricula may benefit from lessons learned.
