About

SAP EDI Architect with 10+ years of experience designing, stabilizing, and transforming complex SAP and Azure integration landscapes across Retail, Logistics, and Automotive industries. Founder of a Swiss consulting company, I primarily support organizations in Switzerland and across Europe in securing and modernizing their mission-critical EDI ecosystems. My expertise sits at the intersection of: • SAP ECC & S/4HANA IDoc architecture • SAP CPI & PI/PO integration • Azure Logic Apps & cloud-based EDI processing • Hybrid SAP–Azure environments • EDIFACT / ANSI X12 / API ecosystems • EDI landscape audits & transformation roadmaps • Bilingual project delivery in Japanese and English across cross-regional SAP integration programs. I am typically engaged when: - EDI flows become unstable or difficult to scale - SAP CPI or S/4HANA migration is planned - Azure-based integration needs to connect with SAP core systems - Architecture lacks monitoring, governance, or long-term structure I combine architectural vision with hands-on delivery, ensuring EDI environments are reliable, scalable, and aligned with business growth. Primary market: Switzerland Active across France and Europe Remote & on-site missions
