| Title |
Enterprise-Software-as-a-Service Lab |
| Description |
According to some observers, software-as-a-service (SaaS) will make traditional ways of using software obsolete. Businesses will access software services such as Salesforce.com, Workday, or Gmail through the Internet, and they will flexibly combine these services to support or change their business instead of developing their own applications or purchasing standard software packages. Whether such visions will become true or not, there is little doubt that SaaS allows organizations to significantly change how they use information technology.
This course aims to prepare students for the effective, critical use of enterprise software and SaaS in their professional lives. The students will gain immediate insight into the design, configuration, and use of SaaS through hands-on experience, and they will reflect on these experiences by applying fundamental theories of enterprise software implementations. While SaaS thus provides the context and while the specifics of SaaS will be discussed, we will use SaaS as an opportunity to better understand more fundamental ideas of technology implementations and enterprise software.
The course consists of two parts:
Part 1: Hands-on experience in designing and configuring Salesforce.com solutions based on realistic business scenarios. Although this gives students the opportunity to experience how a software service is designed and configured, no preliminary programming knowledge is required.
Part 2: Theoretical perspectives: Drawing on the understanding of SaaS gained in the hands-on sessions, the students will apply theories of SaaS and more general theories of enterprise software implementation to example cases.
The course requires active participation from the students. Teaching methods include lectures, guided hands-on work with Salesforce.com, group projects, in-class discussions with the lecturer and experts from Accenture, a guest lecture, and writing a case study related to the guest lecture.
The participants need to dedicate significant out-of-class effort to the four assignments. Hence, it is required that the participants have sufficient capacity to work on these assignments during the semester. More information on the assignments is available in the detailed view of this course in KSL under "modalities for exam"/ "Prüfungsmodalitäten".
Attendance of all sessions is highly recommended. Moreover, all students will have to give presentations on Mar 31st, 2025, and on May 5th, 2025. If students are not present on these days, these students will receive a discount on their assignment grades.
Students are required to enroll in the course via KSL > Registrations (Anmeldungen) within the enrollment period. Students enrolled in the course will receive a grade based on their four assignments. No further enrollment (such as enrollment for a specific exam) is required or possible. |
