Good for,
  • Workflow Management
  • Nice User Interface ( I have also used the same product years ago and the User Interface technology at that time was totally different. I think it was more based on java on that days while nowadays it is mostly using HTML5)
Needs better error handling but it might be due to poor development, maybe not because of the product itself...

  • Error Handling : Sometimes it created some issues where there was not enough explanation. But I think it is mostly related with the consulting company making poor development.
  • In every period, when students tries to access to the system all together and sign up for the courses, it always crashed for minimum a week. I think it requires Load Balancing.
  • The options we used were very limited there, I think there is more capabilities for collaboration is still needed. For example, exams, homeworks etc can be managed by itç

With its many partnerships and connections with other software used in higher education and research, SAP may assist institutions in streamlining their operations and enhancing access functionality. I chose SAP because I am already familiar with the other SAP products. I couldn't think of any other tools which stacks up against SAP for Higher Education and Research
