I am looking for a ERP platform (with case study/tutorial materials and data sets) that could replace SAP ERP GBI software, to help teach my students the practical elements of Enterprise Systems. Does anyone have any suggestions?
SAP offers a wide range of ERP applications that include customer relationship management (CRM), financial management, human capital management (HCM), product life cycle management and supply chain management.

I used SAP platform for years but at one point, Microsoft was offering its Dynamics to universities for free. My concern at the time was losing the great learning modules that were offered by the SAP education group.
@Barbara Hewitt this is my concern. I'm aware of all the various companies (which others have mentioned) but without the learning materials and sand box environment they aren't fit for purpose. Since posting I've come across ERPsim which looks good, so let's see, but the search continues. How was Microsoft Dynamics for the learning experience?
@Celina I am still waiting to hear from our Information Services dept about whether we can get dynamic 365 as part of the university agreement with Microsoft - it isn't cheap otherwise. It seems suitable as it comes with sandbox, data and case studies similar to SAP GBI client. I spoke to some smaller providers but they don't have tutorial material, data or case studies so it depends what you are interested in utilising. ERPsim seems a good option but requires SAPHana as well and costs start spiralling as it's a per head license. If dynamics doesn't pan out I may use sim venture as a cheap (as we already use it) work around. If you come across anything in your search I'd appreciate any update, this search has been more challenging than I expected.
