Your New Year’s resolution: cut the hours of expensive VIM consultants — or become one yourself.
Professional SAP VIM Training for you and your team.
Do You Recognize Your SAP VIM Project?
Projects Take Years
Results Take Forever
Pressure grows, progress stalls. The more complex it gets, the less control you have.
You Don’t Trust the Process
You see delays, exceptions, and manual steps everywhere. Automation? It feels like a promise that never quite came true.
The Transparency Gap
Every exception hides cost. Every delay hides cash. You can’t improve what you can’t see.
Missing Profitability
Rework, delays, and exceptions quietly erode your ROI — until your process becomes your biggest expense.
You’re Responsible — But Never in Control
Experts configure, you justify. The know-how stays outside while the pressure stays with you.
You Keep Solving Problems, But Never the Right One
Tickets close, new ones open. You fix symptoms, not systems — and deep down you know it.
What Makes the SAP VIM Masterclass Different
I’ve spent the last decade building, fixing, and teaching SAP VIM solutions for companies across the world — from first pilot to full-scale rollout. What you’ll learn here isn’t “nice to know.” It’s what separates those who manage invoices from those who master the process.
Why it Matters
- You’ll gain control — not just over systems, but over outcomes.
- You’ll finally understand what happens behind the workflow.
- You’ll speak the language of both IT and Finance — fluently.
- You’ll see measurable ROI — in time, in confidence, in credibility.

The Happy End: What Your VIM Project Looks Like After the Masterclass
Higher Productivity
Manual work turns into automated flow. Your AP team finally works on processes, not in them.
Clear ROI
You stop spending to fix symptoms. You invest once to understand and control your system.
Confidence in Every Invoice
Every exception hides cost. Every delay hides cash. You can’t improve what you can’t see.
Scalable Success
What you master once can be rolled out across countries, company codes, and teams — with confidence.
Data That Finally Tells the Truth
You stop guessing and start knowing. Every workflow becomes transparent — every exception a story you can read, not a problem you chase.
You Become the Expert Everyone Turns To
You don’t wait for answers. You are the answer. The person who owns the process — and the respect that comes with it.

“Johannes Auer impresses across the board with his overall package as a project manager. His ability to address issues early and proactively, combined with an excellent professional background, builds trust from the very beginning. Particularly noteworthy is his clear, technically sound, and at the same time pleasantly human communication with all stakeholders, which significantly contributes to the project’s success. Even in challenging situations, he remains calm and keeps a clear overview. His structured way of working and his ability to explain even complex matters in a clear and precise manner round off his profile and make working with him not only successful but also highly enjoyable.” 1

“Highly recommended to any OT consultant. Informative, precise and quick.“
“Johannes supported us during our migration from SAP R/3 to SAP S/4 HANA, including the upgrade of OpenText Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions (VIM) which we are using to process sales orders. We were facing several uncertainties in the process, as well as issues with SAP Single Sign-On in the validation client.
Thanks to his clear guidance and deep technical expertise, we were able to complete the upgrade successfully and identify the root cause of the SSO issue. Johannes even uncovered a deeply rooted bug in the OpenText Intelligent Capture for SAP Solutions (IC4S) component related to restoring machine learning data, which we were able to get corrected. His ability to explain complex topics clearly and his professional, solution-oriented approach made a big difference for us.
I would absolutely recommend working with him.”

“What I particularly value in working with Johannes Auer is his quick grasp of complex topics and his extensive expertise – not only in the SAP VIM environment but also across the broader SAP landscape.
He finds pragmatic solutions, critically questions existing processes, and proactively provides helpful documentation. He delivers changes and adjustments reliably after conducting his own tests – significantly reducing the risk of errors only being discovered by the business users.” 1
