Customer Reviews

Not for everyone
This book is really aimed at a new user; most power users will either be able to work most of the information out for themselves, or will already know most of the content. It has some useful information, but not enough to make it stand out.

If you are starting an implementation, it is probably worth getting a copy as basic training material, but if you want to learn how to make the most of SAP, this book will not really take you very far.

Good Introduction to SAP R/3
After searching for a decent book to learn the basics of SAP R/3 I beleive I have found the answers I seek in "SAP R/3 for Everyone". It gives easy to follow step by step instructions from the basics to I would say intermediate level. With SAP being such a complicated system for the normal person I'd say this is a good place to start.

A good book for reference
Like most of these books they can go out of date very easily, but as a useful guide for beginners like myself a valuable source in getting your teeth into SAP R/3. This is worth the time in me being recently made redundant to get back into a studying mentality.
