Executive Summary
As customer-facing workflows matured, a major opportunity emerged to reduce fragmentation by consolidating CX, CRM and intake processes into SAP C4/HANA. My role has been to help shape that transition from a CX and operational perspective — aligning systems, workflows and reporting needs so the platform can support a more scalable model over time.
Context
Like many growing organizations, customer-related work had evolved across multiple tools and workarounds over time. That created inconsistencies in how requests were handled, how information was captured and how reporting could be standardized. Rather than viewing platform work as a purely technical exercise, I helped approach it as an operating model decision: how should the system support the business, not just replicate the old process digitally.
The Problem
Customer and CX-related workflows were spread across multiple systems and manual processes.
Process variation made it harder to create consistent experiences and reliable reporting.
Teams needed a more unified foundation for intake, CRM and follow-up activity.
Adoption would depend not only on technology, but on role clarity, workflow design and change management.
There was a need to align customer operations with long-term digital transformation goals.
My Approach
Mapped CX and intake needs into the platform conversation.
Advocated for workflow standardization and reduction of unnecessary variation.
Supported consolidation into SAP C4/HANA.
Connected reporting and operational visibility needs to the future-state environment.
Positioned the work as both platform and process transformation.
