SAP R/3 Business Blueprint : Understanding the Business Process Reference Model

Rating:
Summary: Very well written
Review: I don't normally comment, but I don't know what book the reader from Minn. was reading. I'm guessing he meant to review a different book. This is not a "German" book at all. This is the clearest, best written book on SAP I've read, and I've read most of them. If you need an introduction to the business logic behind SAP, this is the book to buy.

Rating:
Summary: Informative But Poorly Written
Review: The book is easy to read and understand. The reader knows exactly where to go if he has specific topics he wants to read about. A few more graphics in the beginning could have been helpful if you have never seen an R/3 Reference Model before. Recommendation even for students.

Summary: The best SAP book in print today
Review: The SAP R/3 Business Blueprint is the only book that is written from both the business sides and the information technology sides of SAP. Thus, it is perfect for anyone who is implementing or about to implement SAP in their organization. I found that it had exactly the right amount of general description to give me an understanding of those areas of the business that I am not directly involved in. But for areas of which I was most familiar, procurement and sales and distribution, I found it was equally informative. It is simply a must read for anyone involved in the SAP world.

Summary: Informative But Poorly Written
Review: There's a lot of relevant information in this book, but the authors have a repetitive, rambling, and sometimes vague style that makes it anything but a pleasure to read. You really have to work to sift the wheat from the chaff here. It could be easily condensed to half its size without losing any information.

Summary: Good introduction to SAP R/3--but not for the experts
Review: This book gives a general insight on SAP R/3 functional (and a little bit of technical) model. This book can be very good introduction for the corporate executives with very little or no SAP R/3 experience. However, the contents of this book can be too obvious for those who already have worked with SAP R/3 system.

Summary: Need English Version?
Review: This is my third book on SAP R/3. This book is another example of poorly written book on SAP. Though the topics are categorized very carefully and intelligently, the text in the book is in the language that requires 'translation in English.' The terms are either ill defined or if defined, then they have been used inconsistently. It was hard to get out the concept behind a topic, since authors give scattered information without focusing on main idea. Also, authors could have written the business processes (SAP modules) in more like step-by-step (or recipe) method, rather than in 'composition' format.
