When you consider that SAP R / 3 offers about 8,000 tables and a number of confusing German data tags, it's hard to believe you can never learn anything about winning SAP AG enterprise resource planning products in 10 minutes. However, SAMS Teach Yourself SAP R / 3 in 10 Minutes, a slim volume written by SAP consultant Simon Sharpe, manages to give this a pragmatic blueprint for the software giant from the user perspective. Such catchy, the title a bit misleading. Instead of one 10-minute study sessions, the book actually contains a series of exercises designed to familiarize new users with SAP R / 3's core functionality. As a reference for new users to SAP R / 3 or departments affected by the recent implementation, SAMS Teach Yourself SAP R / 3 in 10 Minutes came very close to achieving its other goals.
