New business requirements and system changes now require:
Deeper functional APO expertise
Hands‑on configuration capability
Someone who can partner with existing technical (ABAP) resources
client has re‑engaged a former employee as a SME advisor, but that resource will not be hands‑on. They need a functional consultant who can execute.
