- Set how SSR uses SharePoint and Teams, and which tool does which job
- Design security controls, including the Essential Eight, with our managed service provider
- Lead an audit of how Business Central is set up and used, then bring the Senior Leadership Group a fix plan that simplifies warehouse operations and monthly reporting
- Assess whether Business Central is the right platform for the next 3 to 5 years
About you
