Authored by exceptionally experienced SAP implementers, this book provides comprehensive, real-world roadmaps for succeeding with any SAP implementation or upgrade. It's the only book to present a holistic, "whole organization" approach that fully reflects the challenges, issues, and tasks faced by every participant -- including executives, managers, technical professionals, programmers, project managers, and end-users. Utilizing a real-world case study, the authors walk through planning, designing, customizing, and implementing SAP solutions with SAP's ERP Central Component (SAP R/3's successor). They demonstrate the concurrent work streams of each participant, identify critical path milestones, and cover all essential subprojects and tasks. Each chapter contains sections on project management and oversight; executive tasks; business process configuration tasks; technology and programming tasks; and issues related to the end-user community. By reading this book from cover to cover, you can gain a truly comprehensive view of implementing SAP. Alternatively, you can pick and choose chapters related to your most immediate concerns. Either way, SAP Implementation Unleashed will help you overcome the complexity typically associated with SAP deployments, so you can gain more business value sooner. Product Description
SAP Implementation Unleashed

A Business and Technical Roadmap to Deploying SAP

George W. Anderson

Charles D. Nilson

Tim Rhodes

SAP can help you capture better information and deliver it more quickly, allowing you to make better decisions and maximize the business value of everything you do. However, SAP implementations require massive effort, total buy-in, and significant change throughout the organization. In SAP Implementation Unleashed, 10 expert SAP project managers, functional consultants, and technologists guide you through the entire journey, helping you avoid pain and pitfalls and gain all the benefits of SAP.

The authors introduce start-to-finish business, technical, and project management roadmaps for successful SAP implementation. Then, drawing on their immense experience, they walk you through the entire process of planning and deployment-addressing make-or-break issues and hidden gaps that other guidebooks ignore. You'll discover how to employ processes, models, and toolsets that help you achieve implementation excellence while systematically reducing cost and business risk. Along the way, you'll find actionable advice and real-world insight into innovative project management, best-suited leadership, effective load testing, contemporary infrastructure implementation, and more.

George W. Anderson is responsible for providing enterprise applications thought leadership for the EDS/HP office of the CTO. A long-time SAP consultant and PMI-certified project manager, George has authored several best-selling books and enjoys new challenges.

Charles D. Nilson is a senior program manager for EDS/HP and has led many successful SAP implementation teams over the years. He is a PMI PMP and is SAP Partner Academy certified in MM and PP.

Tim Rhodes is a senior SAP technical consultant for EDS/HP and a Basis/infrastructure veteran focused on implementing, migrating, and upgrading SAP Business Suite and NetWeaver solutions. Tim is also an SAP-certified technical consultant, OCP, MCSE, and HP Master ASE.
