Are there any SAP ERP Community members on Goodreads?
From the time I started writing for some of the top SAP publications like SearchSAP, SAPexperts and ERPtips, I promised myself that I'll be available and approachable to support and help the SAP community for mentoring.
I have always taken pride in sharing my knowledge, expertise and experience with SAP Community.
This approach didn't changed even after I became the author of the SAP PRESS bestselling book "Production Planning and Control with SAP ERP".
However, for some unknown reasons, I find a deafening silence from SAP community on Goodreads. So, I thought I'll take the lead and give a shout-out in a hope that I will get a response! :)
If you are in ANY WAY associated with SAP ERP business software, please let me know in the comments of this blog! Just a simple "Hello" will also do!
I look forward to reading your comments!
