Long-time SAP expert and Cisco employee Michael Missbach and the international team of co-authors have written a standard work for all CIOs, IT and CCC managers.

The E-3 editorial team was able to read the book in advance and recommends it without reservation to any existing SAP customer who is even vaguely thinking of moving to the cloud.

The most valuable, but also the biggest challenge of the book is the 360-degree all-round view. It covers all aspects of cloud computing and you can also read between the lines that SAP software is not ideally suited to the cloud.

Nevertheless, cloud computing is a trend that needs to be considered and evaluated by every existing SAP customer. This book is the best possible starting point.

The book is available in English as a hardcover and e-book with 267 pages and 113 mostly color illustrations, including the "family tree" of SAP applications that has been well-known in the SAP community for many years, designed and drawn by Michael Missbach.

The current SAP family tree starts with R/3 3.1 and currently ends with "All solutions on single 'unified' database" including ECC on Hana and S/4 Hana. Publisher: Springer, from the series: Management for Professionals.
