<div>Seeking collective wisdom here:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We (Tasmania) have a couple of Year 12 subjects that seem to correspond loosely with parts of VCE Yr 12 IT Apps (and some bits of Information Systems), based on looking at docs on the VCCA web</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For some students, an overview of typical existing commercial information systems would be useful, before they look at designing or analysing anything. The problem of course is that access to live systems is not feasible (except perhaps on work placement). Students are fine with personal/office software, but enterprise applications are another matter.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, I've been looking for some demonstration or free versions of dedicated enterprise-level software apps for student to look at, such as :</div>
<div><br>- Health medical patient management<br>- Decision support</div>
<div>- Marketing <br>- Financial systems<br>- CRM system<br>- Supply chain management<br>- Stock control<br>- Resource/asset management <br>- Management and quality systems<br>- HR mananagent<br>- Student management system
<br>- Teller/banking systems<br>- Travel and accomm'n booking<br>- Logistics management<br>- Fleet management<br>- Geospatial data</div>
<div>- event and conference management </div>
<div>- emergency services (ambulance etc) management</div>
<div>- Helpcentre software</div>
<div>- etc</div>
<div> </div>
<div>that can be either hosted locally or which are available as product demos. The latter actually might be better as they often have a good set of dummy data that allows students to see how they work reasonably quickly.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyone able to share ideas on this? So far I only have a handful of examples, and I'm pretty sure others will have been down this track before. Hopefully it will be of mutual benefit. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Alternatively, have others found better ways of handling this? Or is this closer to the VCE Info Systems course (in which case I apologise for the question)?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers</div>
