SAP Case Study: University of Fribourg

Overview

The University of Fribourg, had approximately 8,600 students (of which 16% were foreign), 160 professors and 350 lecturers. Keeping the books for the University of Fribourg is no easy task - there are a large number of funds to administer, and the state-sponsored institution does not have total control over all of its resources and expenditures. The previous IT solution, which was enhanced many a time to take account of these aspects, was no longer satisfactory. Within a project involving all the users concerned and spearheaded by a team of three persons, the choice for a replacement solution went to SAP's R/3 System, which was implemented in record time.
