Postbaccalaureate Diploma in Enterprise IT Management

The impact of enterprise systems - a single large-scale technology solution that supports the key business processes, information flows, and data reporting of an entire organization - on the competitiveness of today’s technology-intensive organizations is significant. Enterprise systems allow organizations to adopt industry best practices, better understand and link with their suppliers and customers, and derive increased value from their significant volume of data. In addition to meeting the most basic information needs of organizations, enterprise systems also help improve competitiveness through the inclusion of business intelligence, knowledge management, customer relationship management, supply chain management, and product life cycle management capabilities. Developing and managing enterprise systems solutions not only require detailed technical knowledge, but also an understanding of business process redesign, project management, and change management.
