Overview
This unit introduces the fundamentals of enterprise systems configuration. It uses a leading enterprise system to demonstrate how organisations configure these systems to meet organisational and user requirements. Configuring an enterprise system is a substantial undertaking that must take into account technical, business and environmental considerations. This unit commences by introducing core enterprise systems concepts related to organizational structures, process models, and data models. This knowledge then serves as the foundation to configuring financial, sales, procurement, and production related functionalities. With enterprise systems forming the IT backbone of most large organisations, the knowledge and skills learnt in this unit are relevant for any IT professional.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Analyse organisational context to identify requirements through modelling techniques.
- Create data models, business process models and organisational structure models.
- Justify the recommended models created and how they will meet organisational needs.
- Configure fit-for-purpose enterprise systems for an organisation.
- Provide fully justified future recommendations for extensions to the enterprise system.
- Communicate professionally in written and visual formats to stakeholders.
Content
This unit covers the following topics to support the learning outcome development: (i) it uses an Enterprise System Application to demonstrate how organizations could adopt packaged Enterprise Systems to its organizational and user requirements, (ii) it provides theoretical as well as practical guidance on best practices in large systems configuration pertaining to key nodules of an Enterprise System, (iii) understand how organizations could use configuration process to understand the business requirements.
Learning Approaches
This unit is available for you to study in either on-campus or online mode. You can expect to spend 10 hours per week involved in preparing for and attending scheduled classes, preparing and completing assessment tasks as well as independent study and consolidation of your learning. The unit uses pre-recorded lectures, case studies and practical exercises to develop your understanding of the theory and practice of Enterprise Systems configuration process. The lectures will cover the key theoretical concepts relating to configuration process, business and technical architecture of an Enterprise System.
A set of real world case studies will provide you with a point of reference throughout the semester. These should be read and will be discussed in workshops. These case studies are enhanced through a set of complementary readings and industry guest presentations. These will help you to understand how the features and functionality and how organisations could adopt an Enterprise System.
Further learning is facilitated through your active participation in computer-based exercises and problem solving discussions. The computer-based exercises provide you with a structured opportunity to acquire and apply the practical skills in configuration through using a market Enterprise System.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
In general, all assessments are designed progressively across the semester to provide multiple opportunities for feedback and improvement. This includes a mix of oral and written feedback from the teaching staff on portfolio reports and reflections as well as oral and written feedback on your the written report.
Assessment
Overview
Assessment items submitted after the due date without an approved extension will not be marked and will receive a grade of 1 or 0%. If special circumstances prevent you from meeting the assessment due date, you can apply for an extension. If you don't have an approved extension you should submit the work you have done by the due date and it will be marked against the assessment criteria. QUT's assessment submission requirements reflect the expectations of professional practice where you will need to meet deadlines.

Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
