NEW YORK CITY, June 17, 2025 — TJC Group, a global leader in SAP data management solutions, today announced a significant expansion of its leadership team at TJC Americas Inc., reinforcing its strategic commitment to the North American market. The company has appointed four seasoned executives to its senior management team to drive growth, deepen regional expertise, and meet rising demand for SAP system decommissioning and data compliance solutions.
Effective immediately, Kristin Gerling (Sales) and Jochen Hager (Service Delivery) will serve as Co-CEOs of TJC Americas. They are joined by Johann Sedlmair, who takes on the role of Senior Vice President of Partner Management, and Mitchell Silverstein, appointed as Senior Vice President of Product Enablement and Innovation.
“This leadership expansion allows TJC Americas to significantly strengthen its footprint across the region,” said Kristin Gerling, Co-CEO of TJC Americas. “Together, we’re bringing localized expertise, Gen AI-enhanced product extensions, and tailored services to a fast-growing base of customers, partners, and resellers, fully backed by our European headquarters and offshore development teams.”
Addressing the rising demand for sap system decommissioning in North America
As organizations across the Americas prepare for SAP S/4HANA migrations and platform consolidations, TJC Americas is scaling operations to meet increasing demand for expert data management solutions. The company’s approach focuses on reducing SAP ownership costs while ensuring full regulatory compliance through system decommissioning and data protection—both for SAP and non-SAP legacy systems.
Key solutions available through TJC Americas include:
- Enterprise Legacy System Application (ELSA) – a cloud-based, SAP-certified application for secure, cost-effective system decommissioning
- Archiving Session Cockpit – for streamlined ILM data management
- Audit Extraction Cockpit – to support compliance-driven data access
These tools support enterprise customers in retaining access to critical data, documents, and reports—even after legacy systems are shut down.
Enabling digital transformation through cost-efficient legacy retirement
“With ELSA, we offer a game-changing solution for companies aiming to modernize their IT landscapes without losing access to essential historical data,” said Jochen Hager, Co-CEO of TJC Americas. “Our recent successful deployment of ELSA at a leading manufacturing firm underscores the solution’s value in S/4HANA transition readiness.”
As more North American enterprises pursue digital transformation, TJC Americas is positioned as a trusted partner for SAP system decommissioning, offering both software and consulting tailored to local compliance needs.
