The “Early Talents Opportunities with SAP” on October 29, 2024, at BINUS University @Alam Sutera emphasized how skilled workers on ERP are in high demand.

“For us, it’s important for students to know the ins and outs of ERP as early as possible. The reason is that more companies are using this technology for various purposes, so they will expect their workforce to know how to utilize this (ERP),” said Dr. Natalia Limantara, Head of the Information Systems Program at BINUS University.

Recognizing the high demand in the business world for ERP and skilled workers in this technology, the School of Information Systems at BINUS University held the event. This event is a result of collaboration with ERP company SAP and an initiative from the SIS ERP Competence Center at BINUS University to introduce the potential application of ERP to students, particularly to stimulate curiosity about ERP.
