5.0 out of 5 stars Very practical guide for complex SAP-implementations, June 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Successful SAP R/3 Implementation: Practical Management of ERP Projects (Hardcover)

As former management consultant implementing SAP this book is the 1st practical guide helping you to setup and rollout a SAP-project. The regular project management courses offer you just the general things that you have to do. They don't tell you were the pitfalls are and how you can overcome these issues. Welti's book is giving, based upon a real life case, just that extra information which might help the project members and organisation in carrying out a successfull SAP-implementation. This book is a must for project managers, -members and managers involved in the complex SAP-projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars High practical value for all participants in ERP projects, April 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Successful SAP R/3 Implementation: Practical Management of ERP Projects (Hardcover)

Having implemented more than 10 complete SAP projects myself (as a consultant and later on as a project manager), I rate this book as very helpful. It has an especially practical approach and is very easy to read. Most of all I appreciated the very personal comments about problems commonly occurring and mistakes often done during the projects live-cycle. But also the checklists, summaries and other tools used in projects are very useful and of a high practical value. I can recommend this book to internal and external project managers, key-users, as well as consultants.
