The integration of enterprise resource planning systems and business processes, which are used especially in controlling the activities of international organizations and improving their efficiency, are of great importance among today's information technology applications. This course, which is offered as an elective course in the program, will help the students to perceive an ERP system, the flow of data and related documents between the functions of the system. In this context, the objectives of the course are determined as follows:
• To show the students how ERP systems evolved from the first computer systems and production processes.
• To enable students to use an ERP system.
• To enable students to evaluate the benefits of organizations operating in different sectors with ERP systems.
• To enable students to gain insight into information technologies that complement ERP systems.
