SAP implementation unleashed is the closest thing I've seen to covering all the relevant aspects of an SAP implementation project. George and team bring a wealth of knowledge to bear. They start with the premise that knowing SAP is about more than knowing technology and more than knowing how to implement a system for running a business. Instead it's about managing a combination of things- business, technology and project management roadmaps that TOGETHER will set you on the road to doing SAP right.

To kick things off, they set the stage with the facts. SAP projects are complex change enablers, necessarily expensive, but ultimately necessary (for reasons the authors explore). After working through some of the best material I've read on establishing business vision and tying in technology to make it happen, the authors then cover number crunching, staffing considerations, managing information, and capturing knowledge throughout the implementation process. Different sections of the book also cover the variety of tasks needed to make YOU a key player - from the idea that SAP might be a better way to run the business to actually managing all the changes and people and technologies required to get it in. They do a fantastic job on the project manager side of the house and cover many of the topics that get less coverage than they deserve: testing, tech installs, NetWeaver and other development tools, operations and the many steps needed before go live. IMHO, for the reader who wants to know what SAP implementations are really all about this is the book for you AND your entire project team.
