3.0 out of 5 stars Hey! The CD had nutin on it! What a Rip!, November 1, 2000
By Forrest Horner "forresth20" (Orangevale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The book had a lot of fluff in it that is already covered in a bunch of other books. I was hoping that the CD would have some good templates so I didn't have to re-invent the wheel...thats the main thing that attracted me to the book. But the CD contained a single boring power point presentation on a rather mundane aspect of SAP. I feel like I got a bit ripped off, considering that the cover states that there's all this great stuff.

About half of the book wasn't that great, First, advice about how to fill out a resume, or how to behave in an office is a bit out of context. Second, covering the highlights of all the various SAP modules had been beat to death in other books. Third, covering what the new "mySAP.com" really is, and what it isn't, is covered in the trade rags, so why spend () bucks?

There is some good advice in the book for managing a SAP project, and there are pictures/diagrams of various boilerplate documents that can be used to help manage a SAP project. But without them being on the CD, the book just ain't that great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent SAP project handbook, October 27, 2000
By Mike (Kansas) - See all my reviews
I have been managing several SAP projects over the last few years and this is the first book in my opinion that really covers the unique and often intagible project issues during an R/3 implementation. Mr. Ghosh is obviously well initiated in R/3 projects and provides valuable insight in managing a R/3 project as well as insight into general issues and hurdles that accompany any ERP implementation. This book was written for project managers and implementation team members alike. I would highly recommend this book to anyone from project team members to skilled project managers. Mr. Ghosh presents the material in an easy to understand format while still providing depth and significant meat to each chapter.

There are not many books that tackle real project issues, this one does. Bottom line, great read, a must have for the entire SAP project team.
