Course Summary

Intelligent enterprises are integrated enterprises. That’s why a key part of SAP’s strategy is integrating end-to-end business processes – whether these span SAP, partner, or third-party solutions. No matter where customers are in their own business transformation journey, SAP is fully committed to helping every customer run as an intelligent, sustainable enterprise.

In this course, you’ll learn how your company can benefit from a seamlessly integrated business application portfolio that spans across four main business processes: Lead to Cash, Recruit to Retire, Source to Pay, and Design to Operate.

The first week will be all about introducing you to the strategy and business value of the intelligent, sustainable enterprise, the so-called suite qualities that are target characteristics of SAP’s pre-integrated business applications, and SAP’s integration methodology. Next, you’ll learn how SAP Business Technology Platform solutions enable you to achieve a seamless experience across your business application portfolio with SAP Integration Suite as the foundation. The third and fourth weeks are dedicated to deep-dives into each business process, providing further insights through demos and customer success stories on how you can make the intelligent, sustainable enterprise a reality for your company.
