Turning ERP On its Head:
Can SAP eSOA Change the Way Companies Approach ERP?
Unabridged Edition, Never Before Released
by Jon Reed
Attendees of SAPPHIRE 2007 got one message loud and clear: Enterprise SOA (eSOA) has arrived. Or has it? True, we saw a number of case studies from SAP customers who have taken the Enterprise SOA plunge. But as of today, most companies are either in the “hypothetical” or pilot project phase. This provides us with an ideal opportunity to assess the value of eSOA before more companies dip their toes into that powerful current. In this article, I’ll take a look at the reported benefits from actual SAP eSOA projects that have taken place thus far. We’ll examine the true merits of eSOA, and by the end of this piece, we’ll have a better handle on what eSOA can do and why it may actually be one technical advancement that ends up living up to the hype.

Back from Tech Ed Sounding Cool:
A Guide to the Latest SAP Terms in Use at Cocktail Parties
Unabridged and Unadulterated Edition, Never Before Released
by Jon Reed
In life, there’s a fine line between sounding cool and sounding out of date. In the SAP universe, the “cool problem” is even more extreme. We go to a conference talking one way, only to realize the terms we are using have already been tossed into the SAP junk heap. When you hear someone say “New Dimension” these days, you figure they don’t get out much.

I use it even more now and I know my colleagues go there quite frequently to increase their knowledge of the SAP market, it is a source of great information."
- David Dawson, SAP Direct Hire Consultant, Acsys -
More JonERP.com Site Feedback"Jon, you are definitely spot on with your analysis of the SAP market. I've been using your websites for over five years now. Instead of buying all the SAP books, I use your stuff to catch up with what's new in the ever-increasing SAP market." - Mark
JonERP.com Reader Feedback"I've kept up with your JonERP.com site for a long time and your articles via SearchSAP.com and elsewhere. I just realized a few months ago that you were also the author of the first SAP Consulting book that I read when I decided to take the leap from working at a Utility company to becoming an SAP Consultant. The SAP Consultant Handbook is a staple for any SAP consultant, new or experienced. I just wanted to thank you for the quality work."
