Discover SAP SCM

The book is titled Discover SAP SCM and is published by SAP Press. It provides an overview of the entire SAP SCM suite and is a good book for those new to SCM, for those who work in SCM, but looking to get a broader view. It is also useful for decision makers as a guide for which specific modules in SCM offer their companies the highest opportunity. It includes an overview of all the modules in SCM, but also chapters on how SCM has developed as of 7.0 and frank coverage of topics related how to get more value from SCM and how to perform ROI analysis on prospective SCM projects.
