Before use, standard ERP systems such as SAP R/3 need to be customized
to meet the concrete requirements of the individual enterprise. This
book provides an overview of the process models, methods, and tools
offered by SAP and its partners to support this complex and
time-consuming process. It begins by characterizing the foundations of
the latest ERP systems from both a conceptual and technical viewpoint,
whereby the most important components and functions of SAP R/3 are
described. The main part of the book then goes on to present the current
methods and tools for the R/3 implementation based on newer process
models (roadmaps).
