MySAP ERP For Dummies

DESCRIPTION

SAP is the world's leading provider of ERP software and services, with
worldwide revenue in 2004 of $9.7 billion and a 57 percent market share
among major business application providers; it is one of the world's
largest software companies overall
ERP is a flexible, open
technology platform that helps businesses run more efficiently (and
profitably) by providing integrated management of key operations and
supply chains
Written for IT professionals who find it hard to get
through SAP's complex documentation, our book demonstrates how ERP can
cut costs, provides a clear overview of how the ESA (enterprise service
architecture) model affects ERP, and shows how to implement the new ERP
in the real world
Topics covered include reducing the cost of an
existing IT backbone, using the new ERP to address a company's "pain
points" and challenges, and proving the value of ERP through ROI (return
on investment) and TCO (total cost of ownership) studies
