ITIL and ITSM Senior Consultant

Genii Software Group

This greenfield project focused on centralizing the IT of a large international client, a fast-growing software group with market-leading vertical software companies. To continue operations, a new service catalog had to be created.

The internal teams’ or departments’ specific responsibilities needed to be identified and their commitment to delivering IT services ensured.

The catalog needed a user-friendly organization for easy navigation and understanding. Services and their OLAs had to be categorized by function, user group, or criticality to optimize access and clarity.

  • Defined processes, escalation procedures, communication protocols, and all dependencies required to meet SLAs and ensure smooth service delivery.
  • Detailed each IT service, including its purpose, features, and benefits.
  • Added relevant OLAs to service descriptions, detailing operational workflows and responsibilities to support effective service delivery.
  • Created clear SLAs with performance metrics (response times, availability, and resolution times for incidents or service requests).
  • Ensured alignment between IT service delivery and business expectations by defining OLAs that specify internal operations needed to meet these SLAs.
  • Identified and documented dependencies between services and underlying IT components.

Program Manager

SAP

SAP’s Cloud Network Infrastructure faced challenges from lifecycle management gaps amid rapid growth.

Many network services needed restructuring because they didn’t use technologies and designs required for cloud operations or couldn’t handle the load. Also, expanding the SAP service portfolio required new network services.

The program develops HEC infrastructure to the latest stable data center technology, stabilizes the current infrastructure, ensures compliance of existing equipment, and implements a new design that meets HEC’s growth needs without jeopardizing certification for top security and regulatory standards (GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA).

The program aims to reduce compute failures by 20%, network failures by 70%, and human errors by 50%, improving service quality for S/4HANA Public and Private Cloud customers.

Project Manager

SAP

In recent years, SAP acquired several cloud software companies as part of its transformation into a cloud software firm. One acquisition was Ariba Inc., now part of the Business Network Group Board but still largely independent. Ariba’s core is the business network that connects suppliers with buyers and generates revenue through transaction fees on the platform.

As volume grew, pricing model adjustments and contractual framework changes became key drivers. Today, the Ariba Network integrates with SAP Core ERP, transferring invoice data via a custom staging area into the SAP ERP SD module (billing).

Future pricing and contract info (customer onboarding) will be managed in SAP CRM. Convergent Mediation will offload the Ariba Network, offering more flexibility and scalability and integrating with SAP Core ERP.

This project redesigns and implements the order-to-cash process for Ariba suppliers.

I led the “Business and IT Operations” workstream, responsible for analyzing current operations and support models and proposing new models for operating the Ariba Network integrated with SAP’s internal backend systems.
