Remote SAP & IT Business Systems Consulting
Bridging the gap between IT and the business.
30+ years in ERP, SAP, and business systems. I help small and mid-size manufacturers and distributors get more value from the systems they already have — through cleaner master data, smoother migrations, and processes that match how the business actually runs.

About
A fresh set of eyes, backed by three decades of hands-on experience.
I’m Paul Turinske, a Business Systems and IT leader with more than 30 years of experience optimizing enterprise technology — including over two decades at KHS USA, Inc., where I served as SAP Business Systems Analyst, Business Intelligence Analyst / ERP Administrator, and IT Site Manager / Database Administrator.
I served as master data authority and data conversion lead for a full ECC-to-S/4HANA migration spanning SD, MM, PP, FI, MRP, and EWM, and most recently led an Avalara tax engine implementation in a live S/4HANA environment — automating sales tax calculation, collection, and reporting.
Whether you’re a growing company or a 150-year-old institution, there is always room to improve. And because AI is only as good as the data behind it, I’ll help you build the clean, well-governed foundation that makes the next step possible.
Core Principles
-
Between IT and the business
I speak both languages — translating business needs into technical requirements, and technical constraints into business decisions.
-
A fresh set of eyes
Every organization has room to improve. An outside view finds what daily routine hides.
-
Data first
Reports, automation, and AI all depend on clean, well-structured data. Getting the data right comes first.
-
Practical results
Recommendations are prioritized, clear, and sized to what your team can actually carry out.
Services
Practical help where systems, data, and people meet.

-
Master Data Governance & Cleanup
Clean, consistent master data is the foundation of every report, automated process, and AI tool. I audit Customer, Material, and Vendor records, find duplicates and gaps, and put rules in place so data stays clean.
Typical deliverables
- Data quality assessment and findings report
- Duplicate and gap remediation, including geocoding to catch duplicate customers and vendors
- Data quality rules, standards, and ownership guidelines
- Ongoing data stewardship support
-
ERP Migration & Implementation Support
Moving to a new ERP, or upgrading the one you have, succeeds or fails on the data. I lead the data side of the project so your team goes live with records you can trust.
Typical deliverables
- ECC to S/4HANA and legacy-to-modern ERP data conversion
- ERP software selection support
- Data mapping, validation, and migration readiness reviews
- User acceptance testing (UAT) coordination
- Cutover planning and go-live validation
-
Business Process Analysis
A fresh set of eyes on how work actually flows through your business. I observe, ask questions, and translate findings into clear requirements your IT team or software vendor can act on.
Typical deliverables
- Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay process reviews
- Current-state documentation and gap analysis
- Functional and technical requirements
- Prioritized improvement recommendations
-
Systems Integration
Your ERP rarely works alone. I help connect it to the tax, EDI, shipping, and partner systems your business depends on.
Typical deliverables
- Sales tax engine implementation, such as Avalara or Vertex
- EDI and iDoc integration analysis and troubleshooting
- SAP multi-system and third-party integrations
- Shipping and freight system connections
-
Business Intelligence & Reporting
Turn your data into decisions. I build reports and dashboards that leadership actually uses, on data you can trust.
Typical deliverables
- Power BI dashboards and KPI design
- SQL queries, data models, and SSIS data flows
- Excel reconciliation and analysis tools
- Report cleanup and consolidation
-
IT Governance & Access Controls
Protect your business by making sure the right people have the right access — and nothing more.
Typical deliverables
- Segregation of Duties (SoD) framework design
- User access and authorization reviews
- SAP roles and authorization analysis
- IT governance aligned with COBIT and ITIL practices
-
Accessibility Reviews for Business Systems
As a screen reader user myself, I know firsthand where business software works for people with disabilities and where it falls short. I review your systems and portals so every employee and customer can use them.
Typical deliverables
- Hands-on testing with NVDA and JAWS screen readers
- Review against WCAG principles
- Plain-language findings and practical fixes
- Accessibility requirements for new system purchases
