The Abdullah Gül University (AGU) students were given SAP training on the leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. The students who completed the training with success also received certificates.
The training was held for the third-year students of the AGU Industrial Engineering program within the scope of the Production and Service Systems Analysis course, led by Industrial Engineering Chair Prof. İbrahim Akgün and RA Betül Kayışoğlu.

For four weeks, three hours a day, the AGU participants acquired basic SAP knowledge and details of the SAP production module.
Spectrum Bilişim installed the SAP software on the computers in the Industrial Engineering Simulation and Optimization Laboratory and the students' personal computers. Thus, the participants could learn by doing in a face-to-face or online mode.
At the end of the training program, a certificate ceremony was also organized at the Senate Room. At the ceremony, Murat Mıdık, General Manager of Spectrum Bilişim, said that leading companies in the top 20 sectors of Turkey use SAP and the SAP consultancy is the most needed type of consultancy for companies.
Mıdık also expressed that consultancy companies currently need a lot more consultants and that's why, besides teaching SAP to students, their company also tries to introduce the job of SAP consultancy to them.
