Written by a team of
experienced consultants, this is one of the
few books we have read about this subject to make any real
sense. Chapter 9 on it's own makes the book worth reading. It
offers a matrix which combines ERP maturity with E-Business
maturity. Chapter 10 is also great as it discusses migration
strategies (moving from one quadrant to the next). Who should read it: Executives with strategic decisions to
make, client business and technical managers responsible for
the implementation, and senior consultants.
