Pragmatic Solution and not a Dogmatic Hypothesis.......2002-04-23

An excellent collection of solid practical content, a book that can be chosen as an academic course to be taught in variety of engineering disciplines such as electronics, computer science, Internet Technologies, etc. because of its solid practical approaches to deliver solution as opposed to hypothesizing on untested value propositions.
In the era when many people rush to write books on any new technical catch phrase for the mere gratification of having authored a technical book that may augment their professional aspiration, the authors of "Wireless Enterprise Application Architecture" have provided the reader with a reference book that is a valuable knowledge source. Relatively small font size and condensed and to the point graphics that enhance readers understanding of major points discussed in the 630 pages of text are all indication of authors being the true subject matter specialists.
The views presented in the book are both from 35000 feet and at the landing level suitable for enterprise strategists as well as technical and tactical workforce.

World-Class Advice.......2001-11-30

I was drawn to this book because I figured a big outfit like Cap Gemini Ernst & Young must have learned a lot, probably the hard way, showing clients how to build a wireless infrastructure that turns profits. And it turns out that's just what I found here. There are lots of examples in this book, ones from the best consultants in the world, that I can use with my own clients.

Impressive and Highly Relevant.......2001-11-27

I was doing research for our company's wireless project and came across this book. The chapters on wireless in the supply chain were excellent and highly relevant to my project. I wish I had known about them before I presented my findings to my colleagues. Either way, the book will serve as an excellent reference for my project.

Great Reference Book.......2001-11-20

What I most liked about this book was the approach they used to provide business justification for technological decisions. It provides the approach necessary to avoid purchasing the wrong technology for the wrong reasons, ie: purchase it because it was featured in the latest tech magazine as the coolest technology when it really is a poor fit to our requirements.

This is a good read and a must buy.

mCommerce architecture explained from the field.......2001-11-20

This book pulls together a number of sources from across the globe and gives an in depth explanations of a number of wireless architectures. It not only explaines key featuers of those architectures but also provides case studies which put them into context. Great for the budding and the experienced architect!

In my top 10.......2003-04-10

CGE&Y wasn't even really on the radar for me until after I read this guide. But it really opened my eyes to the possibilities and opportunities to be had at this company. On the strength of this guide, I went ahead and entered the recruiting process for CGE&Y. I was so impressed with the people I met that I accepted an internship with them. I am very much looking forward to going to work for them this summer. So far so good. Thanks to Wetfeet for steering me in the right direction.

Recommended for Interview Preparation.......2003-03-05

This guide was a great resource for interview preparation. It provided an informative picture of where the company stands in the industry now and where it's going. I also really liked the sections that explained what employees like and don't like about the company. I feel like I have a much better idea of what I'm getting into, both the good and the bad.

Customer Reviews:

The Peoplesoft book to get for Version 8.......2003-03-28

This book gives you a good breath of exposure into what is needed for most Peoplesoft implementations. Although, no book can give you real world experience and express it into words, this book comes close. It has good examples and covers most of the general pitfalls I have seen in the past. Although, at times the book seems to focus on the older user interface but it doesn't change the general issues and approach.

If you are in the process of implementing Peoplesoft, this is a good book to get.

Clear and concise explinations.......2002-09-18

Covers history, planning, organizational, and roles and responsibilities for implementing a PeopleSoft installation. Also includes patch and environment planning. It's an all around reference. It helped give me a good overview of most aspects of the PeopleSoft 8.

Helpful for implementations, V8 content an afterthougt.......2002-09-07

A useful guide if you are implementing an ERP for the first time, never seen/used PeopleSoft and don't understand the consultant's methodology.

It is not good on Version 8 specifically and is of little to no value for existing implementations.

I found a huge amount of content devoted to the Windows Client when version 8 is about moving from this to the web. It seems this book was originally written about how to implement Version 7.5 and then had revisions when version 8 was released prior to the publish date.

Better title would have been Understanding PeopleSoft, without the "8" bit.

Amazingly complete implementation guide.......2002-08-26

If you're looking for guidance on administering or using PeopleSoft version 8 this book is going to disappoint you. If, however, you are responsible for implementing PeopleSoft (or upgrading from 7.x), this is *the* book to get. In fact, much of this book can be applied to SAP R/3, Baan, JDE or other ERP implementations - where the book outlines PeopleSoft-specific information, you can use the chapter headings to outline the technical and configuration requirements of any ERP system.

What I especially like is the thoroughness and level of detail that the author gives. Do not think that this is a 'gold plated' plan that is based on Big 5 practices. It isn't. There are no steps that can be omitted by any prudent CIO or consulting company (I gave the entire book a critical review to see if there were any). What you get is a realistic look at what it takes from business, process, organizational and technical perspectives to implement PeopleSoft in particular, and any ERP system in general. The scope and magnitude of the effort as outlined is realistic, and covers the full implementation life cycle from determining the value of PeopleSoft to your organization, the impact on business processes, full costs of implementation and ownership, and the milestones. Moreover, this book covers post implementation factors and costs, which is among the most thorough I've encountered.

There are a few areas where the book gets hazy, such as capacity and performance planning. The author rightfully claims that each platform has different characteristics, and the vendor should be consulted. I actually found the key to developing a first cut capacity and performance plan in PeopleSoft's documentation, so it can be done in a generic fashion.

Here are the highlights of this book as I see them:

- a complete description of the features in PeopleSoft 8 (which are significantly different from version 7), and a high level comparison between the two versions.

- realistic assessment of post implementation support (often overlooked)

- step-by-step, detailed planning and implementation milestones (so well done that I'm frankly shocked that Cap Gemini Ernst & Young allowed this book to be published since it gives away valuable advice that is that company's intellectual capital)

- one of the best technical descriptions of PeopleSoft 8 I've read (you'd have to spend much more time going through PeopleDocs and other sources to get the same knowledge that this book provides)

If you're a consultant who specializes in PeopleSoft (or any other ERP) implementation, a CIO who needs the complete picture of ramifications, or a project manager who is charged with managing an implementation or upgrade this book will be your best friend.

PeopleSoft 8.0 Implementation Guide.......2001-08-01

I just recently purchased this book for the purpose of understanding the components of an implementation. This book is handy in displaying a proper methodology for implementations. It follows the "Big Consulting Firm" Methods and practices. I highly recommend this book for companies that are in the initial phase of their implementation. It is not a step by step guide on navigation of 8.0.
