Dear Ol,

Implementaton of Baan IV has already began in our compny and the training phase is already over and now As Is process study has already started.
I searched the whole net, inquired all my books related sources but could not find any good book on Baan IV except one (title 'Implementing Baan IV') but it is no way comprehensive.

I request ol of you to please help me find good books on baan iv. I would also like to know if there are any books which are going to be published.

Please help me. I shall be very greatful to ol of u.

Thanking u in advance,
Vishal Mistry

There is just one other book, "Baan ERP Business Solutions - Foundations for E-Commerce" by Robert Jendry. The first section of the book is a lot of blah and marketing talk about ERP and ecommerce, in general and the second half is more or less a copy of a Baan IV functions and feature sales paper. I really cannot recommend that book for anyone interested in looking just a little big deeper ("Implementing Baan IV" is a lot(!!!) more detailed, and still stays at the surface, so you get the pricture).

Unfortunately, beside that two books, no others exist (as far as I know).
Uli

Thanking u,

Hi Vishak,

What do you really want?

Details on all the various modules available in Baan IV?
An implementation methodology?
Course material?

You have the possibility to print course material. In the Baan tools section there is a module called Baan Training. If set up the right you can print a lot of material available.

But a good book you will never find. Probably you will need a good consultant to get you started, who has the experience of implementing Baan and knows most of the pitfalls.

Its like driving a car, there is no good book how to drive a car, you need to build up experience.

Regards,
Peter

Completely agree with other posts for their valuable advice. U can print the documentation in Baan which is more than enough for basic understanding and implementation of the software. Skilled person having baan technical/ functional knowledge and understanding of company's business processes will be an added advantage . U may Start with ur company's core functional reqmt and take up more detailed functionalities in optimization phase.
