From the Back Cover
Edited by SAP co-chairman Dr. Henning Kagermann, this book offers expert analysis of the current state of twelve key industries and demonstrates how the relationship between mySAP and SAP's industry-specific strategy addresses the unique demands of each sector.

Industry requirements are then set alongside their SAP solution, illustrated by up-to-date 'solution maps' developed in collaboration with SAP and its customers and partners.
