18. 2015. 06. 02.EFITA / WCCA 2007 : Herdon M.- Rózsa T.18 Consequences and results According to our survey the most Co-operatives haven’t used ERP system yet. The most used systems are used for book-keeping. But based on our experience of other sectors (for example in trade sector) the ERP solutions are expected to spread. In the future the ERP systems made for SMEs will be important resource. That is why this systems are used in our education programmes. The agricultural informatics students have to learn “ERP”. In this subject based on their earlier studies (operating system, networking, database system, software development, information system development, etc) they work with ERP systems such as CSB, Infor:com and SAP. University of Debrecen and SAP signed an agreement to start the UD- SAP Competence Centre. We developed applications to support ERP selection and evaluate for SMEs (e.g. ROI calculators)
