Implementing Baan IV

Rating:
Summary: Vague
Review: Contains errors and non-specifics similiar to the program. If you are buying it because you are just getting into Baan, you will be overwhelmed. If you are buying it to get the most out of your present Baan system, you will be underwhelmed by this book. Save your money.

Summary: Good Refeference
Review: I found the the book to be a good introduction to the Baan ERP application. There are some areas that I found to be weak, DEM is not quite as straightforward as the text implies and the Tools section is a little generic. I was concerned that there is no mention of the Product Configurator at all, this is a shame, as it it a very powerful tool for manufacturing companies, especialy those who 'Make to Order'. Having said that, I have implemented Baan IV and parts of Triton 2.2 and would recommend this book to everyone involved in a Baan IV implementation.

Summary: Good for a novice Baan consultant
Review: This book is a very good source on Baan for a novice and moderate practitioner. Some modules like Baan Project are not covered much. On the contrary modules like Baan Finance are covered at length. Moreover the modules are not structured as they are in Baan. This makes it a bit difficult to follow through. Since this is the first book on Baan, the efforts of the author are appreciable in compiling the information on such a massive ERP application.

Summary: Great Breadth but not enough depth
Review: While this volume presents a good spectrum of the Baan IV application, it definitely does not get into any great detail. Most chapters could easily be expanded into a volume on their own. In general, very good reference book, way to go Yves!!
