SAP Consultancy in business – An overview
I have been able to help a lot of companies that were in need of a specialist in SAP consultancy for their business. They were all implementing a SAP project including the PP, MM, SD, FI and CO modules. Some companies also implemented an integration project with GMP (OM Partners), SFC and Locus WMS via Biztalk (Microsoft).
In general, I was responsible for the Business Blueprint and the implementation of the Materials Management module (containing master data, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, pricing, output, subcontracting, stock transports, purchase order release, vendor confirmation, returns, inventory management and batch management) and the implementation of the Production & Planning module. In most cases I was also responsible for master data conversion. Furthermore, I provided internal training sessions for the personnel and I created test plans for quality control.
The list below presents every business I have worked for as a SAP consultant.

“I have had the pleasure to work with Tom for many years during my Unilin career (10 years). I have experienced Tom in roles of SAP Business Process Consultant, SAP Project Manager and SAP Master Data Consultant, and he was evenly successful in all of these three roles. Tom is a distinguished professional who stands out based on his deep functional knowledge, his creative thinking together with the company SAP experts, his ‘can do’ mentality and his ability to adapt to / think within the customer context (SAP template). All projects where Tom participated, either in a team member or lead role, were highly successful. Tom is one of those few people where you know that if he is involved, the project will deliver excellent results, no matter the degree of complexity. If it was not for the geographical distance between us, I would have Tom involved in all my current SAP projects.”
