• Manage engagement risk and economics, including planning, budgeting, deliverable definition, and stakeholder buy-in for proposed solutions.
• Provide consulting services for both new SAP EAM implementations and existing SAP support/enhancement projects.
• Deliver ad-hoc user training, knowledge transfer, and functional support as required.
