SAP(R) R/3 Implementation Guide

By Bradley D. Hiquet, Anthony F. Kelly, Kelly-Levey & Associates

Author and consultant Bradley D. Hiquet puts a new and much-needed shine on the old technology-reference-book model in SAP R/3 Implementation Guide: A Manager's Guide to Understanding SAP. Instead of forcing readers down the tedious but often necessary path of configuration commands, Hiquet chronicles the fictional journey of ElectroTech, a manufacturer of industrial electrical components and factory automation products, through its SAP R/3 implementation and rollout. Except for the book's first section, which deftly handles the requisite company, target market, and application overview, the rest is dedicated to this gigantic composite case study. Assisted by real-life consultants at Conley, Canitano, and Associates, Inc., Hiquet has constructed the book to first address the myriad tribulations of ElectroTech's various departments, followed by an explanation of how implementing the cross-departmental SAP R/3 application can theoretically solve the problems. This approach is extremely effective. First, it provides specific examples of how antiquated and disjointed computing systems can adversely affect productivity and profitability. And second, it puts a human face on the issues. The book wraps up with a brief but informative chapter that outlines pragmatic, time-tested methods to help companies prepare for and successfully complete a SAP R/3 implementation. Sarah L.

Concise guidence in executing business processes

One of the best books in the market that clearly describes execution of the step by step business processes in very simple language using a real life-like scenario. The book also provides an excellent overview of IMG. I would strongly urge the auther to consider writing books for individual functionalities, i.e., MM, QM, etc. with greater detail.

excellent introduction and more

this is the one and only book about sap which covers its complexity in a logical manner. i highly recommend it both for novices and pros, users and implementers -- and mostly for consultants with a keen interest in general and specific business processes.
