Overview
In today’s global market, businesses need professionals who can work smarter and create logical and efficient processes that work in synergy to give operations economic opportunity and create growth. Built on a centralized database and business intelligence, enterprise systems (ES) aim to consolidate all business operations into a uniform, real-time, and enterprise-wide system.

Typical enterprise systems include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
This certificate program will offer you the tools needed to use specific software architecture that will engineer the flow of information among all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and to outside stakeholders.
