Summary
Paul Mcenery is an experienced SAP Cloud Consultant with over 16 years in enterprise IT and more than two decades working across private and public sectors on large SAP landscapes. He combines deep SAP Basis and database expertise (Oracle, DB2, HANA, ASE) with modern cloud and DevOps practices—Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD and a broad AWS services footprint—to migrate and run SAP reliably in the cloud. His background includes AIX/Linux systems engineering, clustering and high-availability design on IBM Power platforms, giving him rare cross-platform fluency for complex migrations and HA architectures. At Arvato he focuses on innovating SAP on cloud while earlier roles at IBM, Unilever and Premier Foods involved large-scale OS/DB migrations, performance tuning and NZDT migrations. He holds practical certifications from Cisco, Red Hat, VMware and LPIC, and is as comfortable scripting Python/Perl as he is designing transport and backup strategies for enterprise SAP. Notably, his career began in hardware and printing, which seeded a pragmatic, system-level approach to solving infrastructure problems end-to-end.
