Summary: Excellent Overview of Implementation process.
Review: This book provides excellent overview of Implementation progess without specific details about database and platform. As comming from SAP/3 background, I found this book extremely informative and highly recommend for project manages and implementation team leaders. This book may not be good choice for end user or technical support people. I was expecting more details about financial module from the book that has " Financials " in its title. Most of the information provided is standard information for implementingany ERP projects. Overa all, I found this book worth its price.

Summary: Pretty good book for Erp implementations.
Review: This book provides excellent overview of Implementation progess without specific details about database and platform. Most of the information provided is standard information for implementing any ERP projects.Every member of the implementation team - from entry-level accounting clerk through MIS staff to executive sponsors - will benefit from reading this book. In short it is book worth reading.The title of the book should have been "The secrets of successful (peoplesoft)ERP implementations.".

Summary: Fluff.
Review: This book was almost complete fluff. Most of the content was generic (applicable to most ERP conversions) or just about Peoplesoft general features. There was *very* little about financials, either at the process design or configuration or administration level. One doubts whether the author had any xprince with financials at all. I'd say th book falls just short of fraudulent misrepresentation.

Summary: Generic info is good; not specific enough to PeopleSoft
Review: This is a must read for project team members of a client/server, packaged software system, at all organizational levels. It contains all the standard information you'd expect for how to run a good client/server implementation project in one concise read. The problem is that the information is not specific to PeopleSoft, as the title would suggest. A more appropriate title would be "Implementing Client/Server Vendor Applications". The only PeoplsSoft-specific information is contained in the first 2 chapters

Summary: General ERP Implementation Guide
Review: This is more of a general ERP installation guide than it is a a book about PeopleSoft financials specifically, which is actually a good thing since the PeopleSoft information is now dated. This book was written with PeopleSoft versions 7.0/7.5 in mind; the new PeopleSoft version 8.0 is a very different product. Still, the general ERP information is still valid and accurate.

Summary: This is the best book I have ever read. You must read this.
Review: This is such a good book that I am willing to run to the authors house and congratulate, and thank him for such an excellent book. For those of you who did not give this book a very good review you people suck. As for the man that said that he was a Peoplesoft Consultant, and he did not enjoy the book. You are the most horrible and evil man in the history of the world. If you were an actuall peoplesoft consultant, why would you want to read the book anyways Mr. Pissypants. This was the best 47 dollars I have ever spent. As for all of the other people who gave this book a bad review, maybe if you could actually read you could apprectiate such a good book, but appereantly not.

Summary: This book should not be sold
Review: This was a marginal effort when it was released back in 1997. It sold only because it was one of the few PeopleSoft books on the market. Now that it's old, it is simply sad that any retailers are still selling this, or moreover that the publisher (Manning) is still pushing it.Calling this book merely bad would be generous.

Summary: Project Planning
Review: We used this book to define who does what. In the past we had the payroll manager responsible for starting, stopping and backing up the database while the computer department created user queries. We were backwards and kept stepping on eachother's toes
