5.0 out of 5 stars Well written rationale for ERP use., July 6, 2006

This review is from: Concepts in Enterprise Resource Planning, Second Edition (Paperback)

A quick read, well written, nicely illustrated with charts, spreadsheets and case studies. Presents a relatively high level perspective of a manufacturer's business processes from pre-sales through planning, production & delivery, to post-sales customer service. Compares the challenges of operations in an unintegrated systems environment with one in which systems are well integrated within an ERP suite and does it in a way that makes it easy to understand and remember the benefits of the latter. Geared toward students in an academic environment, it is useful to those already in business who can benefit from its conceptual clarity. Unlike most of the dated ERP books on the market, it covers current topics like XML & web services.

If you want to know some problems of unintegrated systems and how integrated ERP (=SAP) can help to solve these problems this book is for you. If you need something else/more - look for another book or course.

Easy read and only need four chapters for an intro course, 2101, but contains important information for the projects involving SAS and Google Analytics.
