His focus is on the integrated implementation and optimisation of SAP QM – always in close coordination with the related modules MM, SD, PP, PM and EWM.
Frank supports companies from the initial process analysis and blueprint creation, through customisation, to the go-live and long-term system support. Depending on the project requirements, he takes on the role of module consultant, integration consultant or project manager – even in complex, international roll-out scenarios.
