The course also provides a thorough grounding and internalization of the important Info Systems concepts, which will help the participants to apply their knowledge towards innovative IT uses in various functional areas. There will also be discussions on systems for supporting knowledge-based work such as Decision Support Systems, and Knowledge Management. At the end we will study the methodologies for modeling and development of Information Systems. The course delivery will be based on conceptual treatise as well as practice/presentation sessions. The aim of the course is to equip the participants with the skills that will help them contribute to the success of most of the functional areas in organizations, through design of IT based systems.

Enterprise systems typically include key system application for the digital age.
