Universidad vietnamita incluye Epicor ERP en los estudios de sus alumnos - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

The Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Open University in Vietnam recently implemented an enterprise resource planning solution for research and teaching.

The technology from Epicor Software Corporation is expected to support the University’s research network, training its faculty lecturers and running training and seminars for University students. It is now integrated into the curriculum for students from the Finance-Banking, Computer Sciences and Accounting-Auditing faculties, plus two new faculties for Business Administration and Advanced Studies.

More than 100 students will receive hands-on experience with the full range of Epicor ERP modules, which include financial, manufacturing and distribution processes. Its sales, purchasing and general ledger modules empower students to apply several theoretical business operations into real business scenarios and help them to be better equipped for their careers after graduation.

“In business, it’s often difficult to visualize or apply theoretical concepts. Subjects such as financial operations and distribution models are not easily taught and having the Epicor ERP system at hand helps students to apply these concepts in a practical and visual manner. This greatly strengthens their ability to explore new business models, test their knowledge, and deepen their understanding of the business world,” explained Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Phuc, principal of HCMC Open University.

“As students become familiar with business strategies and modern industrial information systems, they also have the chance to develop pioneering solutions based on research into the current needs of the Vietnamese economy. In return, companies can benefit from new ideas and approaches to help them manage complex application environments,” he added.

HCMC Open University has been collaborating with Epicor since 2013. Sabby Gill, executive vice president of Epicor International, said that more millennials are entering the workplace, and they are both technologies proficient and digitally literate. 

“Equipping these students with the relevant experience and skills will help organizations to adapt and empower their employees to boost collaboration and innovation,” he said.
