Build momentum for digital transformation

ERPsim™ PROPELS YOU ON YOUR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY

It engages your people in a challenge that pits teams against each other to solve problems, motivating them to embrace ERP and buy into your digital transformation initiative.

ERPsim is a business simulation that runs on a live SAP ERP system. In a fast-paced environment, participants must optimize decisions by sharing information and collaborating using ERP. Participants gain more than just an appreciation of enterprise software—they also witness the impact on company performance of communicating and collaborating up- and downstream in an end-to-end process.

Learning hands on in a real system was priceless! We had super users right along with senior executives getting really into it. The competition was a fun component, but so was getting to see how SAP was a truly integrated system real time.

How it works

After you’ve scheduled a certified ERPsim instructor for your simulation, gather participants in a room and place them in teams of three or four.

  • Each participant must be equipped with a laptop to connect to the ERPsim interface via Wi-Fi during the simulation.
  • The simulation is divided into timed rounds in which each minute represents a day.
  • During each round, team members must collaborate using real-time SAP S/4HANA data and analytics to aid their decision making.
  • After the simulation is complete, the instructor leads a debrief session that solidifies and enhances the learning experience, turning “Aha!” moments into memorable lessons.
