Annotation Enterprise applications are used to execute enterprise business processes. The study course covers typical enterprise applications such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems, workflow management systems and service-oriented applications. It discusses their areas of application, technical architecture, modification and implementation at companies. In addition to these typical applications, enterprises continuously improve the business processes which includes the adoption of the latest technologies, also referred as digital transformation. These technologies are used to address some of the fundamental concerns in the area of enterprise applications. The study course investigates technologies for modification, adaptation, scaling and data-driven decision-making..
