Why ERP? A Primer on SAP Implementation

Customer Reviews:

Poorly written, poorly edited, very light on content

By A Customer - March 12, 2000

I was excited to find this book, an introduction to ERP in one slim volume.Unfortunately, the authors do not use their pages well. The book meanders (even more than one might expect from a "novel"), the writing includes a definite Southeastern U.S. regional tone, and the editing is very poor (I spotted a number of grammatical errors and several instances where a sentence had been cut in editing and not repaired).Overall, this is a sloppy piece of work. One might expect better from a major publisher, but...I cannot recommend this book to anyone.

Useful introductory tutorial disguised as a novel

By Alex Stewart - March 1, 2000

This book is presented as the ERP version of "The Goal", and it is true that it takes the form of a novel. However, it is not clear that the weakly developed fictional elements add or detract from the message. The case study, however, is useful, and overall this is a palatable way to get an introduction to the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning. Like most writing on ERP, it focuses on one software product, in this case, SAP R/3. However, it is not a disguised advertisement and should be useful for managers contemplating adopting any such system in their companies.

Common Sense Look at ERP

By Lori Duncan - May 9, 2000

What steps an organization needs to consider and take before moving into an ERP environment is given so simply in this book. Jacobs and Whybark present the facts in such a way that anyone in an organization understands that ERP is not a magical cure for their ills. Yes, this book is written very much like "The Goal," yet one knows this from the start. Where is it written that such a book must be full of theories, processes and analogies that makes it boring and undigestable. I applaud Jacobs and Whybark for giving the business world an easy to understand and follow guideline for ERP.
