  • Ensure proper configuration and continuous improvement of SAP Solution Manager's ChaRM functionalities, including integration with external ticketing or demand systems (e.g., ServiceNow).
  • Provide guidance and training to project teams and support staff on ChaRM best practices and governance policies.
  • Track and report on change throughput, rejection rates, SLA compliance, and audit readiness of change processes.

Enterprise-Level Communication:

  • Develop and distribute communication materials: newsletters, executive announcements, infographics, FAQs, and internal updates.
  • Translate complex SAP/IT topics into user-friendly content for business and technical audiences.
  • Support OCM efforts through stakeholder messaging, readiness content, and engagement planning.
  • Manage content across internal platforms like SharePoint, Teams, and Sway.
