ALM strategy & target picture
Before tools get picked, we clarify the processes: what your ALM has to cover, what governance you need, which toolchain supports it — and which tools you can do without.
SAP Cloud ALM · Berlin
Application lifecycle management that carries your S/4HANA transformation.
Functional and technical consulting around SAP Cloud ALM — from ALM strategy through the move away from Solution Manager to enabling your teams.

Services
Four building blocks, one goal: an ALM that works in daily project life.
Whether you are still defining the target picture, in the middle of a transformation, or facing the end of Solution Manager — I join you where you are.
SAP Cloud ALM for S/4HANA
Setup and configuration, role and authorisation concept, requirements, test and transport management. Cloud ALM set up so your programme can actually work with it.
Moving off Solution Manager
SAP Solution Manager is being phased out. I plan and guide the move: process design, selective data migration, parallel operation and the step-by-step transfer of your existing scenarios.
Training & enablement
As an official SAP trainer I train key users, test managers and developers — tailored to your landscape and processes, so the knowledge stays in the team after the project ends.
Selected work
What this looks like in practice.
Three anonymised examples from ongoing and completed projects.
S/4HANA transformation with SAP Cloud ALM
- Situation
- Requirements lived in Jira, processes in Signavio, delivery in the SAP system — with no connection between them. Nobody could trace a requirement through to its transport.
- Approach
- Designed and built an end-to-end requirement-to-deploy process across Jira, Confluence, Signavio and SAP Cloud ALM. Transport management via CTS and CTMS, integration of LeanIX and BTP Document Management.
- Outcome
- A traceable chain from requirement to production system, plus training material and train-the-trainer sessions for the project teams.
From Solution Manager 7.2 to SAP Cloud ALM
- Situation
- Established ALM processes in Solution Manager, maintenance end in sight — and an open question about what actually belongs in the cloud.
- Approach
- Workshops to analyse the existing processes, a migration and configuration plan following SAP Activate, build-up of the Cloud ALM environment and selective data migration.
- Outcome
- A productive Cloud ALM environment for implementation and operations, including job and process management.
Transport and release management in an S/4 landscape
- Situation
- A growing system landscape without consistent control over transports — and the corresponding risk of changes overtaking each other.
- Approach
- Configuration of CTS and SAP Cloud Transport Management, introduction of downgrade protection and ATC checks, integration of Jira and Cloud ALM via SAP BTP.
- Outcome
- Controlled transport routes between development, QA and production, plus an agreed role and authorisation concept.
Profile
Over ten years between the business and SAP technology.
Analysing processes, setting up ALM tools, enabling teams — that has been my work for more than a decade. It started with SAP Solution Manager; today the clear focus is SAP Cloud ALM.
Those Solution Manager years are not baggage — they are the reason transitions succeed. Knowing how ChaRM, test management and process documentation grew over time is what lets you judge which parts belong in the cloud and which can safely be left behind.
My projects run in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, retail, energy and the public sector — national and international, often alongside the large consulting firms.
