Review
Michael Doane knows more about what happens when SAP gets implemented than anyone outside of SAP, and many inside. Follow his advice and thrive." --Joshua Greenbaum, Enterprise Applications Consulting

The New SAP Blue Book is already a classic and I expect the SAP Green Book to join its ranks as a dog-eared mainstay of SAP project and support teams. Mr. Doane has a knack for breaking the complexities of SAP into simple, elemental models for gaining business benefit. These books comprise your go-to guide for SAP success. --Jon Reed, JonERP.com
