As one of the leading experts in SAP Vendor Invoice Management (SAP VIM), I offer deep expertise built on over 15 years in software development and nearly a decade of specialized SAP VIM consulting. Since 2016, I have successfully led and supported a wide range of SAP VIM projects around the world — from global rollouts and technical implementations to end-user training, process assessments, and critical de-escalation scenarios.
My time at Open Text, the creators of SAP VIM, provided first-hand insights into the product’s evolution and best practices, which I now apply independently since March 2024. My clients benefit from a combination of strong technical know-how, business process understanding, and hands-on project experience — whether for new SAP VIM implementations, S/4HANA migrations, or optimization of existing invoice management solutions.
If you’re looking for an experienced SAP VIM consultant who understands both the technical and strategic aspects of Vendor Invoice Management, get in touch. I support organizations of all sizes in achieving more efficient, transparent, and scalable invoice processes with SAP and OpenText solutions.
