I’m Here to Help

I have been on a thirty year journey with the SAP PRA product within the Upstream Oil and Gas industry. I have been deeply involved with the product from inception through numerous implementations, extensions, upgrades, and innovations. I started in big consulting on the customer side in both technical and functional roles, and recently “retired” from ten years with SAP product development where I wore many hats in evolving the product for industry. I actually enjoy this work too much to retire, so am happy to offer my expertise to others on their own journey.

How Can I Help?

Got a quick question? I don’t mind you just pinging me. For heavier stuff like a project role, reach out and we can discuss options for how I can get engaged.

Quick Questions

I have learned much from others in the community over the years, so am happy to give back where I can. Just reach out to me if you have a quick question, if I can reach you back with quick answer, I’ll do it. No charge!

Clean Core Extensions

This is fun stuff for me. I love the creative process and can build it too. Knowing the guts of PRA helps me to be very efficient. I actually built most of the native CDS views, and many of the BAdIs. Clean core for you of course!

Feature Adoption

Interested in unlocking value from new features? Many new capabilities require steps to enable, so you may not even be aware they exist. I designed and built some cool stuff recently. DN Automation, DSD, OAGs … that was me.

Upgrades

The clock is ticking on those ECC windows. From strategy sessions to hands-on. implementation work, I am ready to contribute. This is a great time to clean house on your old customizations and tap into some new features!

Performance, Sizing

PRA is a heavy hitter on your SAP landscape resources. Luckily it is highly tunable if you know the levers. This is an area of particular expertise for me. Tuning, archiving, partitions, NSE, … yep, got it for you.

Troubleshooting

Is it a problem with your setups, or is it a problem with a customization, or is a product defect? Let me get quickly to a root cause, and in most cases give you the solution directly.
