...E-Commerce as a Capstone in Information Technology Jon A. Preston Assistant Professor Scott Taylor Instructional Assistant Department of Information Technology Clayton College and State University Morrow, GA 30260-0285 ABSTRACT Universities interested in keeping pace with the rapidly changing field of Information Technology (IT) are often pulled in many directions. Because Information Technology is such a popular field of study and work, educators must manage rising enrollments in an era where the ubiquity of information technology demands an ever-increasing number of specializations. As a result, industry and students expect a wider range of courses and specializations in their upper division coursework. E -commerce, one of the most promising of these maturing Information Technology specializations, affords an excellent opportunity to draw together the fundamentals of the field into a capstone series of courses. E -commerce fulfills a present demand from industry, provides a wonderful project and group-based “studio-style” learning environment, and is quite popular with students. This paper discusses our e-commerce degree specialization as a capstone to undergraduate Information Technology coursework. We also discuss the motivation for, design and execution of, and results from our courses. Keywords: E-commerce, information technology, capstone project, studio -style learning 1.

...entire enterprise through the use of a common database and management reporting tools. The goal is to enable easy access to business data and to create efficient, streamlined work processes. Origin of "ERP" In 1990 Gartner Group first employed the acronym ERP as an extension of material requirements planning (MRP), later manufacturing resource planning and computer-integrated manufacturing. Without supplanting these terms, ERP came to represent a larger whole, reflecting the evolution of application integration beyond manufacturing. Not all ERP packages were developed from a manufacturing core. Vendors variously began with accounting, maintenance and human resources. By the mid–1990s ERP systems addressed all core functions of an enterprise. Beyond corporations, governments and non–profit organizations also began to employ ERP systems.[7] Expansion ERP systems experienced rapid growth in the 1990s because the year 2000 problem and introduction of the Euro disrupted legacy systems. Many companies took this opportunity to replace such systems with ERP. ERP systems initially focused on automating back office functions that did not directly affect customers and the general public. Front office functions such as customer relationship management (CRM) dealt directly with customers, or e–business systems such as e–commerce, e–government, e–telecom, and e–finance, or supplier relationship management (SRM) became integrated later, when the Internet simplified communicating with...
