5.0 out of 5 stars Want to understand SAP? Read this book!, April 27, 1999

By	M. Luzius (Frankfurt) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you want to understand what SAP's R/3-system really does, this book offers you the best way to get a grip on it. By mapping the system's transactions to the underlying business processes you can easily follow and understand the core functions of the model company. The EPC-methodology provides a perfect framework for describing processes in such a way that the user can understand the different threads as well as the guys who implemented the system. Reading this book I realized for the first time how I can benefit from the use of SAP in my company.

BTW: The book has more than 840 pages, not 448 as mentioned in the book information!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best compass for navigating the SAP terrain !!, October 15, 1998

By	Viswanathan Suresh "Tiltrotor" (Strasbourg, France) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The rich and sometimes jargon ridden world of complex ERP software like SAP R/3 is best understood with the help of a proper guide. There are not many books in the market that unravel this world to a beginner in ERP systems and this book more than adequately fills that void. Despite the somewhat prosaic language in the book, the authors do a wonderful job of starting with a survey of basic technological, organisational and business trends and go on to developing a framework for enterprise and process modelling. In my large library of SAP realted books, this one stands out and I will not hesitate in recommending it to anyone interested in this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top SAP book to understand processes, April 11, 2003

By	Arron Lee (Shanghai, China) - See all my reviews

I'm a FI/CO consulant with 6+ years experiences, after reading the book I find there are still some areas and key points that I just ignored or left uncertain in the past, the authors Gerhard Keller and Thomas Teufel present their knowledge and ideas in a very structured and comprehensive way.

Although process mostly keeps the same even with R/3 upgrading, there would still have some big changes between version 3.0 which this book refers to and the version 4.X. And I really hope this book could have second edition and explore more on the MTO process instead of only 30 pages in the last chapter.

This is really the best SAP book I've read!
