We first announced this book at SAP TechEd 2007 in Munich, not even starting to realize back then what we had gotten ourselves in to. And we would never have pulled it off if it weren’t for the sustained Capgemini Executive sponsorship of Ron Tolido, Hans Schevers, Ger Donners, Jack van Eijk, Wil van Hamersveld, Jan Joosen, and Frank Singendonk.
We are also very grateful to the SAP Service Line management for their investment and for making valuable resources available to us: Nick van Rossum, Jacob Batema, Rijk van den Bosch, Hans Harteveld, Kees van den Hout, Leo Kamphuis, and Frank Wammes.
A wholehearted thank you to those who have reviewed our ArchitectedSAP overview book: Rolf Albers, Theo Elzinga, Michael Feith, Jan Willem Hofstee, Alex van Hout, Albert Kuiper, Nick Laqua, Erik Overvliet, Ronald Tjee, Mike Turner, Niek Weustink, and Sander Zijlstra.
