From the Back Cover

In addition to the typical coverage of business reengineering that a company will go through when implementing SAP, this book also provides you with vital information on each of the modules, changes that will impact each department of a company, and how you can best prepare for the implementation. New chapters cover the enhancements included in SAP R/3 4.0. New chapters on rapid implementation, vertical market strategies, and smaller business implementation replace some general management practice chapters. A unique section (of six chapters) provides advice and strategies for getting into the SAP consulting market--and what the outlook for SAP consultants is becoming. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars A massive tome that fails to live up to its billing., October 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Sap R/3: The Most Complete Reference (Hardcover)

This book is useful for two things: introducing neophytes to R/3 , and as a book end. Special Edition Using SAP R/3 is one of those volumes that is so bulky that it will look impressive and hold your other books in place. Readers who do not know SAP will learn enough about R/3 to understand the basic functions and architecture. If you have already decided to implement R/3 and have any background with the system, even if only an introductory course, skip this book. You will find it incomplete. If you know nothing about SAP feel like skipping the demos and spending a good portion of a hundred bucks get this book. If you need to fill four inches of bookshelf this volume will do it.
