Hello, my name is Mani Deep Atukuri. I pursued my master’s degree from ITM with a concentration in Enterprise Systems. My journey with SAP began when I worked at my first job with SuccessFactors, which piqued my interest and led me to pursue higher studies in the same field. During my first semester, I took the ERP with SAP course under the guidance of Professor Lou Thompson.
