This transformation requires thought leadership, quality decision making, deep technical know-how, and an ability to navigate complex business challenges while applying a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to each of these mega processes. As part of the program, a new role has been created to lead and coordinate all service support activities with a strong focus on managing change, release, transport and service transition processes. This role ensures stability, scalability and performance of the SAP S/4Hana landscape while aligning with service integrators and internal IT teams.
