What Lecturers Say

With the Fiori apps available in S/4HANA, it is possible to work almost intuitively, so that students can "play through" further process variants in a short time with concise assistance, thus making process management tangible, and can also apply more sophisticated planning procedures, thus making the benefits of an ERP system more tangible.
Prof. Dr. Jörg CourantHTW Berlin - University of Applied Sciences, Germany
Würzburg-Schweinfurt University of Applied Sciences has been a customer of UCC Magdeburg since 2001 and uses SAP systems in seven degree programs. During this time, we have experienced high quality support from the UCC. We would like to emphasize not only the stability and performance of the SAP systems provided, but also the speed with which support responds: if problems do occur, they are solved promptly and reliably. We have also come to appreciate the content of the SAP systems: especially since SAP no longer provides training content, the model company Global Bike developed by the UCC makes it much easier for our lecturers to prepare their courses, or rather, it makes it possible to hold the courses in the first place.
Prof. Dr. Karl LiebstückelUniversity of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt, Germany
Services provided by UCC Magdeburg are essential for Centria University of Applied Sciences as SAP Next-Gen Chapter representative. Reliable services and fast response times combined with expert technical assistance ensure our ERP education to be effective and our students benefit from working with the latest SAP technology.
