SAP – the world’s most popular IT system supporting company management is being learned by students during their studies at the Poznan School of Logistics (WSL). This is already the fourth system implemented in WSL’s didactic laboratories, allowing students to acquire practical skills in operating IT systems that support logistics management and to easily find a job immediately after graduation.
The Poznan School of Logistics has joined the multi-million family of users utilizing the world’s most popular IT system. SAP, as it is referred to here, is a system that not only supports company management but also facilitates relationships with customers, logistics partners, suppliers, employees, as well as financial service providers. From the new academic year, WSL students will learn the SAP system both in theory and in practice. The school has signed a cooperation agreement with the company Business Consulting Center from Suche Las, which specializes in SAP system implementations.
– The most talented students of supplementary master’s studies in the field of “Logistics Manager” will take part in the training. During laboratory classes, issues will be discussed in a specially prepared training system that reflects the functioning of a real enterprise – explains Dr. Eng. Bogusław Śliwczyński, Head of the Department of Logistics Information and Informatics. – Thanks to this, students will learn the SAP system both in theory and in practice. This knowledge will certainly pay off in the future. For example, when looking for a job in prestigious companies that use the modern SAP system in their management – he adds.
SAP software allows enterprises to significantly improve operational and decision-making processes, increases the efficiency of all areas related to customer service, and additionally provides the opportunity to increase revenues through the full integration of finance and sales areas. Therefore, more and more companies both in Poland and abroad are deciding to implement it. Enterprises that work in SAP include: Kompania Piwowarska, Netia, Volkswagen Poznań, Amica Wronki, and Telewizja Polska SA.
WSL students will learn how SAP works in various industries, which will further increase their attractiveness on the job market. Especially since the cooperation with the BCC company also includes the possibility for future graduates to write their diploma theses for the needs of system implementations in enterprises.
– Nowadays, a logistician works primarily using a computer, utilizing modern software that allows them to work even more efficiently – says Wojciech Zalewski, WSL press spokesperson. – The university consistently implements subsequent systems into the education process so that graduates are fully prepared to take up logistics positions without the need for additional training. The SAP system is the fourth program supporting enterprise management, after Graffiti, Qguar, and iScala, that our university students will learn.
For now, training in the scope of program operation is being undergone by the employees of the Poznan School of Logistics, who will conduct laboratory classes from the new academic year. The school authorities also plan to publish a script with training materials, which will allow students to thoroughly prepare for classes and expand their knowledge with many additional, fascinating details of the functioning of the best, yet complex, IT system.
