This tremendous volume, penned by enterprise resource planning (ERP) consultant Stewart S. Miller, tracks nearly all the elements involved in preparing for, taking, and passing SAP's battery of available certification courses. In addition to offering content and context for the course and exams, Miller has taken the time to include information about the body that administers the tests--the SAP Partner Academy--course and exam pricing, and relevant contact information.
It's unfortunate that Miller doesn't pay the same attention to the text itself, which tends to be wordy. Unlike most reference books of this stripe, the All-In-One Guide doesn't have particularly clear or useful diagrams, nor does it provide much in the way of tables. These types of tools may not be necessary for those familiar with R/3, but for the newcomer such elements can help tie things together.
Miller covers the basic R/3 modules and also touches on such issues as shifting operating systems and integrating third-party applications with R/3. Each chapter ends with several pages' worth of questions, followed by somewhat lengthy but useful answers. All in all, this book is an effective guide to the intricacies of R/3, particularly from a study guide perspective. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt
Book Description
Computer certifications are booming. So is the SAP market, with the expected audience to be at about 500,000 by the year 2000. Combine the two hot markets with the fact that we're going to have the very first book out of the topic, covering all core SAP specialties, written by someone with "insider information," and we have all the elements of a best seller. SAP is currently giving courses leading up to certification. Each track is about a week long, and can cost anywhere from $8,000-$12,500. This is a lot of money and time to spend on training and certification, particularly when interested parties see how difficult it is to obtain information on SAP certification. This all-in-one certification guide follows on the enormous success of a few of our other titles that have been first to market: Java, Lotus Notes, A+, and Cisco CCIE Study Guide.
