Summary of Experience

 

I have worked on a number of SAP projects including 5 complete installations through “go-live”. I believe that the BASIS team when working properly is never the bottle-neck and I use my experience to prevent problems and look ahead to what the SAP team and SAP users need to complete the task.

Over twelve (12) years of experience in SAP R/3 Basis Administration on a range of platforms and databases. Over twenty years (20) years of IT experience in the areas of system administration, database administration and programming. Specialized in BASIS, ABAP, SAP R/3 Security, Installation and Upgrades, ASAP, TMS, CCMS, BR Tools, SAPDBA, client copy, client import/export, SAP Router, hot packs, support packages, database maintenance, backup, recovery, troubleshooting, production support and daily Basis administration activities. I am qualified for Unicode / ASCII codepage upgrades CSC.

I have worked extensively with the new Netweaver 2004 & 2004s releases including the ABAP, JAVA & ABAP/JAVA versions. These new releases pose an increased workload for the BASIS group due to the many extra complexities over the previous SAP versions up to 4.6c. I have several years experience installing and configuring Solution Manager.

I worked for SAP America as a permanent member of staff and as contractor on five SAP projects in the past 12 years. I have references from SAP America as well as previous SAP clients. I have supported some clients on SAP for over 10 years.
