Summary: SAP - get familiar with the approach
Comment: I have a double feeling with this book. At one side, it is overwhelmingly structured and give the uninitiated a good understanding of the SAP approach. At the other side, you have a feeling of 'hunger' at the end to have more indept knowledge of the ERP system. It is too provisional and will not help to much in "solutionising" ERP specific problems. But if want to get familiar with terminology and general ERP project management, you have the right intro book.

Summary: Good on implementating, Introduction on system
Comment: It is a good book for the neophyte or someone who is considering implementing or in the beginning stages of an implementation. Actually, it is a terrific choice if you fall in this group.
If you are looking for an in depth analysis of the system, or a user manual, then forget about it, it is excessively simple in these aspects.

Summary: Essential reading for the post-Dotcom times!!
Comment: Although SAP is out of spotlight since lat year, everone knows there are lots of SAP projects out there, both new, upgrades etc.; without refering to any particular SAP project, this book distills a lot of practical details and wisdom from numerous SAP projects. It should be useful not only to key-users, consultants and, of-course, Project Managers but also for anyone presently evaluating ERPs vis-a-vis e-commerce, CRM projects etc. Now that the hype has gone out of ERPs, Kale's book will put ERPs in perspectives vis-a-vis other areas & dev. in IT/ IS like the latest CRM, SCM, Enterprise Portals, NetMarkets etc. Read this book to understand why ERP will continue to be the essential backbone for all businesses.
Comprehensive and also good as ready reference for any SAP implementation.

Summary: A Wealth of New Ideas for the ENTERPRISE
Comment: Information as a Resource for the Enterprise! Much surprise is being expressed at the current spurt in productivity indicated by the booming US economy. Its no paradox. As per the author, this is because the latest enterprise systems like SAP enable leading companies in the economy to use information as a tangible resource. And, this resource is usable many times over, simultaneously; that is where the productivity is coming from!
This book is replete with numerous insights and unique perspectives on many issues relevant to implementing SAP within your organization. Here is a gem for the CRM efforts: "From zero defects to zero defections". Succinctly, this typifies the major shift occuring from the focus on production/ manufacturing to the customer relationships in the new era of the 'customer triggered' enterprise (another novel idea from the book! ). As mentioned by others, there are few typos that could have been avoided.
If you want to clue on to the NEW Enterprise --get hold of this book for many more unique perspectives, ideas and concepts for your ERP-driven enterprise.

Summary: ALL THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR IMPLEMENTING SAP!
Comment: Even if you do not have any idea on what is involved in implementing SAP, this book will bring you upto speed, very fast.
I picked this book up when I was asked last month (post-Y2K) to evaluate and give a detailed plan for implementing SAP quickly! This book provided me with all the answers and I was able to give a credible presentation to our VP operations. It blends the business and technical issues perfectly.
I am now using it to guide us (almost everyone has a copy!) through the SAP project using ASAP.
In passing I must mention author's interpretation on the technological advances in past century including Internet as sliding and/or altering space time is simply amazing. I had never ever thaught it that way; read it, it is stunning!
Refer to this book for any ENTERPRISE related issues as a whole. There is lots of useful info. and advice here.
