"There really aren't many "must-read" ERP books in the 30 year (or so) history of ERP, but you can add this book to the must-read list. The book fits nicely into what I call the Center of Excellence movement - the push by ERP customers to gain more value out of their ERP investments and endure less headaches. The book is a combination of hard-won advice, cautionary tales, and a bit of a manifesto for not placing blind trust in third party consultancies." - Jon Reed, SAP/ERP Market Analyst.
"You owe it to your company and yourself to read this book. If you do so, you will sharply increase your odds for success and spend a lot less money. Steve has done the ERP industry a big service." - Tom F. Wallace, early ERP pioneer, author, and Distinguished Fellow at The Ohio State University Center for Operational Excellence.
"There are very few ERP books that I would consider a game changer and an eye-opener. Not only will I state this book is a game changer, but I would strongly recommend it to current and future ERP customers. This book is direct and specific regarding risks and recommendations." - G. Brett Beaubouef, PMP, CISA, Author, and Blogger at "ERP The Right Way."
"If the Project Management Institute (PMI) had a certification program in ERP Management, this would be the only textbook needed." - Andy Klee, President, Klee Associates, ERPtips.com (SAP), and JDEtips.com (Oracle Enterprise One).
"I love this book." - R. Ray Wang. CEO & Principal Analyst of Constellation Research, a founding partner of the Altimeter Group, and a thought leader in enterprise digital transformation.
