Robert Kundrat - SAP Technology Consultant

Introduction

Transforming SAP Landscapes

With over 25 years of experience in SAP technology and cloud computing, I offer deep and versatile expertise across a broad spectrum of areas, from large-scale migrations to S/4HANA conversions and cloud integration.

My career has encompassed both leadership and hands-on technical roles, including Data Center and Cloud Migrations, Unicode Conversions, S/4HANA system installations and upgrades, SAP implementations, system upgrades, and Enhancement Pack deployments.

I have a proven track record of managing complex SAP landscape migrations involving diverse operating systems, databases, and SAP components. My core technical strength lies in large-scale database migrations, where I apply advanced downtime-reduction strategies to deliver smooth, low-disruption transitions.
