The SAP R/3 Business Blueprint is the only book that is written from both the business sides and the information technology sides of SAP. Thus, it is perfect for anyone who is implementing or about to implement SAP in their organization. I found that it had exactly the right amount of general description to give me an understanding of those areas of the business that I am not directly involved in. But for areas of which I was most familiar, procurement and sales and distribution, I found it was equally informative. It is simply a must read for anyone involved in the SAP world.

This is the ideal book for anyone who is either directly involved with the implementation of an R/3 sysetm or who is planning on implementing it in the near future. I showed it to a couple of my friends who are SAP consultants & IT project managers and they found it to be an invaluable source of information.

There's a lot of relevant information in this book, but the authors have a repetitive, rambling, and sometimes vague style that makes it anything but a pleasure to read. You really have to work to sift the wheat from the chaff here. It could be easily condensed to half its size without losing any information.
