During the one-and-a-half hour training session, Epicor will be presenting students with basic information about business-to-business (B2B) transactions and how enterprise resource planning  (ERP) solutions in particular, are used in multiple business functions to integrate and manage data and workflow. Students will be familiarised with detailed visual demonstrations of how different modules of Epicor ERP, including production management, project management, sales management, financial management, can be applied in daily business operation and help businesses improve productivity.
