Becoming an SAP Consultant

Rating:
Summary: Educating an Aspiring SAP Consultant
Review: I read the reviews with regrets initially anticipating a good introduction to SAP consulting. Any recommendations?

Rating:
Summary: Could have been a booklet rather than a book
Review: The topic of becoming an SAP consultant has been so over-exploited in the past several years in newsgroups and chat rooms. Now, the authors have done the same thing in their book. The SAP market has shrunk tremendously in the past 12 mos. Launching yourself into the SAP world now is like closing the barn door after the horse is a mile down the road. On content, the book is filled with fluff. As other reviewers have pointed out, all the stuff in this book is freely available elsewhere. Pass on this one.

Rating:
Summary: Utterly ridiculous
Review: This book is so incredibly contrived, I'm not sure where to begin. How about the part about recommending that a consultant learn to type fast, as it allows one to get more work done per minute and gives the impression that you are busy? In the end, it's just another thinly-veiled attempt by some self-appointed "experts" to cash in on the R/3 phenomenon. There are better books out there that provide a lot more knowledgeable insight on being an independent consultant; they might not be SAP-specific, but neither is a lot of this book's content--in spite of its title.
