Senior SAP Basis Migration Specialist

Our client's ERP transformation program focusses on improving global operations. It helps streamline processes, align practices, and use digital solutions to increase productivity and collaboration across the Organization.

General scope of work

This position reinforces the ERP Project's capacity in technical planning, pre/post-migration configuration, and integration support during the migration from SAP ECC on-premise to SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud.
