* Provide post-go-live support and monitor the system performance, quality, and user feedback and troubleshoot and resolve issues related to SAP system
* Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities and best practices to optimize the ERP system functionality and efficiency as well as manage system upgrades, patches, and enhancements.
