About Dmitrii

I am a techno-functional SAP/OpenText Consultant with 18 years of experience in SAP-integrated document management, archiving and corporate ECM solutions.

My core expertise covers SAP ArchiveLink, Document Archiving, OpenText Extended ECM, VIM, EFM, Archive Server / Archive Center, Document Pipelines, CMIS scenarios, and related SAP FI/MM, HR, SRM, CRM, ECC and S/4HANA integration topics.

I work across both functional and technical layers: business requirements, solution design, configuration, troubleshooting, migrations, upgrades, UAT, go-live support, 3rd-level support, documentation and knowledge transfer. I have delivered and supported OpenText/SAP projects across Germany, the EU, the Middle East, the USA and CIS region.

I am especially strong in complex OpenText landscapes: legacy system modernization, SAP ArchiveLink integrations, on-premise to cloud archive migrations, VIM/e-Invoicing improvements, EFM implementation or upgrade topics, and post-go-live stabilization.

My motto is: “Sometimes we can do better than what the vendor planned.” I enjoy projects where deep hands-on expertise, functional understanding and practical delivery ownership are required to turn complex ECM challenges into stable business solutions.
