"I love this book." - R. Ray Wang. CEO & Principal Analyst of Constellation Research and a founding partner of the Altimeter Group.

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 (JD Edwards).
