Course description
THE CONFERENCE
In an era where agility and data-driven decision-making are essential, administrative departments must evolve beyond fragmented systems and manual workflows. The 2025 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Conference, themed “Unlocking the Power of Integrated Data to Transform Administrative Processes in the Digital Age,” will explore the technical and strategic dimensions of ERP systems in modern administration.
ERP platforms unify core business processes—such as finance, human resources, procurement, project management, and compliance—into a centralized database that supports real-time data sharing and analysis. With modules that utilize AI-powered analytics, process automation, role-based access control, and cloud-based scalability, ERP systems are becoming foundational to digital transformation strategies across industries.
This conference will provide in-depth discussions and demonstrations on:
- Data Integration Techniques – including API management, middleware, and ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools for seamless connectivity between legacy systems and ERP platforms.
- Advanced ERP Features – such as machine learning for predictive analytics, robotic process automation (RPA) for repetitive administrative tasks, and real-time dashboards for KPI tracking.
- Cybersecurity and Compliance – ensuring administrative data integrity through role-based permissions, audit trails, and adherence to regulatory standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
- Deployment Models – evaluating the trade-offs between on-premise, cloud, and hybrid ERP implementations.
- Change Management and User Adoption – strategies for effective training, process reengineering, and stakeholder engagement during ERP rollouts.
by the end of this conference, participants will be able to:
§ demonstrate an in-depth understanding of ERP system architecture, including the structural components, functional modules, and data flow mechanisms that support integrated administrative operations.
§ critically assess and compare ERP solutions based on organizational needs, implementation models (on-premise, cloud-based, or hybrid), scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
§ design and implement data integration strategies using application Programming Interfaces (APIs), middleware, and Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) tools to ensure interoperability between ERP systems and legacy platforms.
§ utilize advanced ERP functionalities, such as artificial intelligence (ai)-driven analytics, robotic process automation (RPA), and real-time dashboards, to enhance operational efficiency and support data-informed decision-making.
§ apply techniques to optimize administrative processes, reduce manual tasks, and enhance productivity through system automation and centralized control.
§ develop and enforce ERP security frameworks and compliance measures, including role-based access control, audit trail implementation, and adherence to relevant data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
§ formulate effective change management strategies to support ERP system deployment, including stakeholder engagement, end-user training, and institutional readiness assessment.
§ analyze and interpret practical case studies from various sectors, drawing lessons learned and best practices applicable to participants' own administrative contexts.
