This book is OK but lacks more in depth technical overview of SAP NetWeaver and its components. It has 10 chapters and waits until chapter 9 to dive into some of the technical depth. Much of this depth was so quick that I would not necessarily use the term "depth" to describe it. Could have excluded 3 of the 4 business examples as these were more specific to the industry and the individual company. I was looking for more screen shots and more technical specifications and did not find specifically what I was looking for. It had good content for the company looking to implement a totally new IT infrastructure, however for companies that have already started down that path, it fell it bit short.

I suppose at one time there was a reason for someone to purchase this book, but that is no longer the case. The book _SAP NetWeaver the Official Guide_ contains all of the content you'll find in this book plus more. The Official Guide is the same price as this one. When I say "contains all the content," I mean almost all the text found in this book is reproduced in the Official Guide with only minor elements changed.

As a prior reviewer noted, the technical elements in this book are saved until the last 2 chapters and as a result compose a minority of the book. Most of the book is a set of case studies of various hypothetical companies that use NetWeaver.

In the event that you value the case studies, they are still present in the Official Guide. In the event you want more technical elements, that facet of the book is greatly expanded in the Official Guide.

So, in summary, don't buy this book. Buy the Official Guide instead.
