| Description | This course introduces students to the principles, architectures, tools, and practices used to integrate modern enterprise systems. The course begins with foundational concepts in ERP, CRM, SCM, HCM, and BI systems, then examines how organizations connect business processes, data, applications, and services across cloud-based and AI-enabled enterprise platforms. Students study business process modelling, business process re-engineering, ERP architecture, cloud-native systems, composable enterprise design, API-led integration, microservices, event-driven architecture, workflow orchestration, and modern enterprise application integration approaches. The course also introduces integration platform as a service (iPaaS), low-code/no-code automation, process mining, integration governance, monitoring, and the responsible use of AI-assisted automation and AI-generated insights in enterprise workflows. Through labs, assignments, and a group project, students model business processes, analyze enterprise workflows, design integration architectures, and build small prototypes using REST APIs, event streaming technologies, workflow orchestration platforms, and AI-assisted automation tools. The course prepares students to contribute to enterprise software development, systems integration, business systems analysis, ERP and CRM implementation, cloud integration, and AI-assisted enterprise automation initiatives. |
