Reader Reviews
The concept of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) has been around a long time. With the increasing power of computers and the reluctance of people to pay the huge amounts of money demanded for their software by the big suppliers (such as SAP) smaller packages have been developed. mySAP ERP consists of software in four areas that most corporations have needs. These include: Financials, Operations, Corporate Services, and Human Capital Management. While a basic description of mySAP ERP can be gotten off of the SAP web site, it's pretty sales oriented in nature. This book is written to give the beginning user a good introduction to what you (as a CEO or IT manager of a company) might expect to get out of an ERP package. This book is an introduction to what an ERP package can do for you, written in the traditional 'For Dummies,' style. It's not loaded down with technical jargon, it is not a detailed instruction manual of how to use the software. It's a well written introduction that gives the big picture. Comment | | (Report this)
