To become leaders in the technological and digital transformation, enterprises need to increase their performance, efficiency and customer loyalty. This can be obtained through the strategic use and analysis of data and the use of integrated ERP landscapes. The ever-increasing amounts of data and the requirements of Industry 4.0 require both the handling and understanding of data processing within common ERP software as well as the development of analytical knowledge with regard to methods in the present situation.

The core area "ERP and Analytical Systems" covers an introduction to Industry 4.0 concepts and the application of practical case studies on networking and scenarios in intelligent factories as well as various quantitative methods such as predictive data mining, simulation and optimisation. Moreover, students acquire important standards of ERP systems based on SAP as well as business structures, functionalities and interrelationships of integrated information systems. Our students deepen their professional and methodological competencies especially in the areas of data analysis, modelling and forecasting with a focus on enterprise resource planning and advanced analysis methods such as classification, segmentation and clustering. Consequently, our students are ideally prepared to work in a wide variety of organisational units in enterprises after graduation by specifically analysing the data available today and, based on this, creating forecasts in order to design operational or entrepreneurial processes more efficiently.

In today's globalised economy, enterprises cannot afford any deficits in their quality standards due to the ever-increasing competition. They must also strive for continuous improvements in the area of software quality management in order to remain successful in competition. Therefore, it is no longer sufficient to be able to develop software. The software's quality must also meet the requirements in order to be successful on the market. To develop good software, one has to understand what software quality actually is, how it is created, measured and maintained. Our students can develop new IT systems quality-consciously and implement their ideas creatively and according to high standards. In the core area "IT Quality Management", our students learn comprehensively about the process of quality-controlled software development. In addition, they learn to understand and master the interaction of the components of complex IT systems. The special focus is on quality, security and usability. For this purpose, tools of Design Thinking, Test Driven Development and Requirement Engineering are applied, among others.
