Summary: Good overview of Oracle 11i
Review: The fact that authors have attempted to even write a book about Oracle Financials-Manufacturing-Projects-HRMS deserves credit. The initial section tries to appeal to the "higher management" of any Erp Implementation covering Project Management. Then it gives an overview of module by module of the Oracle 11i suite with special emphasis on what's new on 11i. The breadth of coverage is high but the depth leaves a lot demanding. To be fair to the authors, it is almost impossible to cover depth in each module in 11i because probably 50 volumes would required and because every implementation is unique.
Most of the Erp Implementation have solution providers who know the basics of the setup and ilk but what they are looking for is examples and that is what, I did not find in the book. There is a mention of existence of interfaces and APIs but no examples are forthcoming in the text.
Apart from the 11i, the information provided on consultants is interesting. There is a need for a book in Erps - Oracle , SAP or Peoplesoft that displays numerous example of implementation from start to finish. Unlike Excel or Word which have a low barrier to entry in terms of neuron consumptions, ERP require significant investment of time and experience and creative ideas to be even be at level, where one can barely float on the ocean of erp. Learning by examples is the best route and I am sure soon there will be specific books by some who will target piece by piece (module by module) the entire erp with some examples. May be we will have books module by module with explanation, soon!

Summary: Excellent Reference for Oracle 11i ERP implementation team
Review: This book does not provide the level of detail that would help most Apps developers. This book is designed more for functional analysts responsible for setups, than for developers who need to understand the underlying architecture and functionalities. Most of the content of this book can easily be gathered from Oracle User Guides. This book also tries to cover too many modules, but fails to provide much detail in any areas.

Summary: Excellent Reference for Oracle 11i ERP implementation team
Review: This book gives an excellent overview of the non-CRM modules in Oracle 11i suite - Financials, HRMS, Manufacturing, Projects. What is refreshing about this book is in addition to information on 11i, this book also provides thoughtful discussions on Project Management and on consulting. The authors have indeed succeeded in packaging these exhaustive material within one volume. This book is a "must have" as a reference for anyone who is involved in ERP implementation project. Hopefully we will soon have a similar book on CRM modules that includes inter-relationship between different ERP-CRM modules.
