Summary
This first chapter answered questions related to what SAP is, its history, key terms, and how SAP may be leveraged to usher in for you a new age of enterprise integration and information sharing.
To this end, we touched upon the difference between the SAP Business Suite and SAP NetWeaver, differentiated between common and best practices, and outlined the three roadmaps to implementation. This should position you, our readers, to not only hit the ground running, but to do so with the confidence that thousands of installations before you have already laid similar groundwork—paving your road to SAP success.
