Summary: Short on detail, long on fluff.
Review: As one involved in an SAP R/3 implementation, I found this book to be much too short on details to be of real value. Because it tries to cover all aspects of SAP, it is like a river that is a mile wide and one inch deep, you can't dive into it. The author's time would have been better spent providing answers to some of the real issues involved in implementing R/3.

Summary: This is not a book...it is a 1164 page brochure
Review: It is amazing that anyone can write so much and say so little

Summary: Jack of all master of none..
Review: Lame result of an ambitious and wordy project. The book targets a too broad audience and in the process it misses much of its value. Nevertheless, this book has a virtue as a good source of reference for SAP project management and business process overviews.

Summary: Thousands of pages of bulletted lists. Useless.
Review: Someone mentioned that it is a thousand page brochure. Right on the (wasted) money sir! I bought this book to gain some insight into SAP. But this book was a great disappointment. Words don't come to me to describe my disgust after wasting 75 dollars on this book. Just because SAP knowledge isn't easily available, people like me keep wasting our money on whatever is available in the market. I have learned my lesson, now I spend a couple of hours sitting in Barnes and Noble before making a decision to buy.
The only reason I give it one star is ... there is no option to give a zero star.

Summary: Good reference book for SAP Implementation
Review: This book's orientation is different from many other SAP books. The target segment for this book appears to be prospective SAP Consultants aspiring to be involved in implementation of projects, personnel in the Implementing organisation whose services will be used in implementation and end user. These days many people get trained/ acquire knowledge in SAP modules such as FI-CO, Logistics, SD, HRMS, etc by attending training courses in various Computer Training Institutes. Some even work as Trainee Consultants in some organisations. The real-life Implementation experience is all together different from what these people learn in Institutes. I feel that this book will be certainly helpful to fill such gap between real-life Implementation exp and learnings. At least, the book will enable the reader what to do when he is put in the project for the first time. Good points abt this book: 1. It gives good view of R/3 architecture 2. Giving ideas about possible Implementation issues that can arise 3. Inputs for preparing a good SAPper CV 4. Employment opportunities in SAP. Negative points: Jack of all, master of none! Inadequate coverage of various modules, which is understandable! Conclusion: The user level is mentioned as Intermediate to Advanced in the back cover, but I feel that this book is only suitable to Beginners to Intermediate level.
