Michael Missbach Books

The goal of this text is to describe the technical design aspects of the IT infrastructure; it does not give the details of installing and customizing SAP software, nor business process reengineering. Using primarily HP products for the solution examples, the chapters guide the reader through the foundation of the systems from an IT perspective, reviews its business application and architecture and introduces the server systems, then describes data storage, high availability and recovery solutions, client PCs with front-end user interfaces, output management and printing solutions, network infrastructure and requirements, cabling designs, LANs and WANs, and connecting mySAP.com to the Internet. Both authors are members of the HP-SAP International Competence Center. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book provides an introduction to the various facets of building and operating an SAP infrastructure exploiting Cloud technologies. It describes and discusses the latest developments and challenges and suitable solutions, and also outlines future trends where possible. To ensure that this book is also useful to readers who do not consider themselves experts in this area, this book explains in detail the backgrounds of the various solutions. Also, practice-oriented case studies are provided throughout the book in order to make the reader aware of essential but perhaps less obvious points. However, the book concentrates exclusively on the set up and operation of the SAP infrastructure. It does not give details on how to install and customize the SAP software, nor does it deal with the much more complex tasks involved in business process implementation and reengineering.

"In just 24 sessions of one hour or less, you'll master the latest updates on SAP, and discover just how much has changed over the last few years. Through detailed scenarios, hands-on examples, and a case study that weaves its way through each hour, you'll also find yourself absorbing all of this new material quickly. Each lesson builds on what you've already learned, providing a strong real-world foundation for both business users and IT professionals. Leading SAP consultants Michael Missbach and George Anderson start with the absolute basics, work through the clutter of the old and the new, and ultimately take you to SAP's cutting edge. Step-by-Step instructions walk you through common user and IT-related SAP tasks. Quizzes and Exercises at the end of each chapter help you test your knowledge." -- Provided by publisher.
