Bridging the gap between IT and the business.

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

  • 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
