Course information
Course Summary
In this course, you’ll dive deeper into the key concepts of enterprise cloud computing. You don’t require much prior knowledge to attend the course and you’ll experience it like a student in the lecture hall. All sessions were recorded during Prof. Hasso Plattner’s Trends and Concepts lecture at the HPI in 2021 and 2022. This course is the successor to the course Enterprise Goes Cloud 1, building upon the foundations presented there and offering additional angles to challenges in, for example, data management. Starting on the database level, you’ll learn about differences in requirements like elasticity and multitenancy when moving from on-premise environments to the cloud.
You’ll learn more about the shift of ERP systems into the cloud and about additional technical aspects of containerization, workflow engines, and cloud-native service patterns. The course ends with an outlook into possible future directions such as an increased utilization of low-code/no-code offerings and the rising importance of explicitly modeled processes in the enterprise landscape. In short, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of current developments in enterprise cloud computing.
After completing this course, you’ll have deepened your understanding of the fundamental approaches and technologies in cloud computing and SAP Business Technology Platform.
