4.0 out of 5 stars A must have book for those planning their own emu conversion, 21 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Patrick O'Briene's book fills a critical need at a critical time. If you think Y2K was difficult, the IT side of the euro is far more complicated, intertwined as it is with all the essential parts of a business - from accounts to marketing and sales. Yet there are a great many business opportunities from euro conversion as well as many, many traps into which the unwary can fall. Read Patrick's book if you want gain some real insights into this change and save yourself a lot of time 're-inventing' your own wheel
