Management (ECM): IT Application Development (CTGE 442P, CEUs: 0.7) |
One of the keys to a successful company
is the automation of critical business processes.
The effective application of Information Technology has proven to be indispensable
in this regard. Through IT support
and automation, business processes become deterministic, and roles and responsibilities
within the organization, along with inputs and outputs, become clearly defined.
Further, IT processes can be monitored, enabling proactive actions to accommodate
exceptional conditions. In this course we will explore
the ways in which a business process is translated into an IT application, with
a focus on the process and data modeling involved.
Once the process and its supporting data are modeled, we go on to design
the screens and underlying database objects.
Finally, we cover monitoring and administration of the IT system. Topics

role of business processes in successful companies
- Process
