ERPsim Competition

Ready to think like a business leader?

The ERPsim Competition puts you in charge of a virtual company powered by SAP enterprise software. Working with a team and guided by industry mentors, you'll make real-time business decisions, respond to changing market conditions and compete for scholarships and prizes, all while building skills employers value.

New this year, the competition moves to the fall, giving students the opportunity to build connections with employers and showcase their skills during recruiting season. Whether you're looking for hands-on experience, professional networking or a chance to test yourself in a fast-paced business simulation, ERPsim is one of CMU's signature experiential learning events.
