1.0 out of 5 stars Utterly ridiculous, March 7, 2000

By A Customer

This book is so incredibly contrived, I'm not sure where to begin. How about the part about recommending that a consultant learn to type fast, as it allows one to get more work done per minute and gives the impression that you are busy? In the end, it's just another thinly-veiled attempt by some self-appointed "experts" to cash in on the R/3 phenomenon. There are better books out there that provide a lot more knowledgeable insight on being an independent consultant; they might not be SAP-specific, but neither is a lot of this book's content--in spite of its title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Could have been a booklet rather than a book, October 27, 1999

By A Customer

The topic of becoming an SAP consultant has been so over-exploited in the past several years in newsgroups and chat rooms. Now, the authors have done the same thing in their book. The SAP market has shrunk tremendously in the past 12 mos. Launching yourself into the SAP world now is like closing the barn door after the horse is a mile down the road. On content, the book is filled with fluff. As other reviewers have pointed out, all the stuff in this book is freely available elsewhere. Pass on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useful only to novices at both SAP and Consulting, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

For anyone who has been in this business very long, you'll already know everything in here. Many pages are even wasted on re-printing information from FREE IRS publications. Why pay for that? The authors also left out some important stuff, like disability insurance and professional liability insurance.
