Last position:
ERP Program Manager at Fiserv
The customer is undergoing a comprehensive transformation. All SAP ECC landscapes worldwide are being migrated to SAP S/4HANA, with the goal of introducing a standard template worldwide.
The program also includes the “RISE with SAP” migration and modernization program, which may involve migrating the landscapes of selected country installations to the SAP Private Cloud.
On the stakeholder side, the program reporting line extends to the company’s executive board and that of the implementation partner.
Fiserv Germany’s ERP landscape currently includes several non-standard SAP tools and applications that extend the functionality of the ECC environment and can often be integrated into downstream systems. As part of the transition to SAP S/4HANA, it is essential to assess the core functionality, integration points and future viability of these applications in order to determine their alignment with the target architecture.
The focus of the work is on providing expert advice and assessment to define the scope, strategy and roadmap for transitioning Fiserv Germany’s SAP ECC system to SAP S/4HANA.
The recommended best practices from SAP are followed and a structured approach is used to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption while maximizing business value.
This assessment forms the basis for a successful SAP S/4HANA transformation and ensures alignment with industry best practices, regulatory compliance and future scalability.
Migration Strategy Definition – assessment of available transition approaches based on business objectives, technical feasibility and SAP Best Practices.
Technical Readiness Assessment – conducting a system analysis to assess compatibility, custom code impact, data volume management, integration points and infrastructure readiness for SAP S/4HANA.
Business Process Impact Analysis – reviewing the latest business process documentation to define the scope and effort required to implement the necessary functions in SAP S/4HANA and to identify opportunities for process optimization.
Roadmap for Non-SAP Systems and Applications – assessment of third-party and legacy applications regarding their integration with SAP S/4HANA and recommendation of consolidation, migration or replacement strategies.
Deployment & Implementation Planning – defining a phased approach for implementation, including project schedules, risk mitigation strategies and key milestones aligned with business priorities.
This transformation takes place in phases: the Discovery phase leads to the Explore phase, which is followed by the Design phase and finally implementation.

About the technology
What CMMI covers
CMMI, or Capability Maturity Model Integration, is a framework for improving how organizations plan, deliver and control work. It helps companies establish repeatable processes, manage risks and use evidence to strengthen performance. The model can support development, services, supplier management and other business activities.
Appraisal readiness
CMMI work often involves preparing for an appraisal against a selected model and scope. Specialists map current practices to practice areas, identify gaps, organize objective evidence and help teams explain how their processes operate. The goal is sustained capability, not documentation created only for an assessment.
Models and tooling
The CMMI ecosystem includes model guidance, appraisal methods, maturity and capability concepts, and structured improvement practices. Experts may use process repositories, workflow tools, risk registers, metrics dashboards and configuration management systems to connect policy with daily execution. Familiarity with ISO standards can also support a coherent quality system.
Where companies use it
CMMI is relevant when delivery quality, governance or supplier control must become more consistent. Typical engagements include:
- Preparing for a CMMI appraisal
- Defining process areas, policies and evidence
- Improving software and systems delivery practices
- Establishing service management and supplier controls
- Building measurement and continuous improvement routines
When freelance expertise helps
Companies bring in freelance specialists when an internal quality team needs independent guidance, when an appraisal scope is changing or when process improvements have stalled. An external expert can provide an objective baseline, facilitate workshops and transfer practical methods to process owners without taking over operational accountability.
What strong experts bring
Strong CMMI professionals connect the model to real work rather than treating compliance as a paperwork exercise. They understand organizational change, governance, risk, measurement and delivery workflows, and they can distinguish a useful process from a document that nobody follows. Look for clear evidence plans, practical recommendations and experience working with executives and delivery teams.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about CMMI.
CMMI is used to improve the capability, consistency and predictability of organizational processes. Companies apply it to areas such as product development, service delivery, supplier management, quality assurance and process governance.
CMMI provides detailed guidance for assessing and improving process capability in defined areas of work. ISO 9001 focuses on the requirements of a quality management system, so organizations may use both when they need broad quality governance plus deeper process improvement.
A strong CMMI specialist usually brings skills in process analysis, audit preparation, risk management, measurement, quality assurance and organizational change. Experience with Agile delivery, software lifecycle practices, service management or supplier governance can make the guidance more practical.
The right level of CMMI experience depends on the scope, model areas and condition of the existing processes. A smaller improvement initiative may need focused process expertise, while appraisal preparation across several functions calls for someone who can coordinate evidence, stakeholders and remediation work.
CMMI engagements can often be delivered remotely through interviews, workshops, document reviews and shared evidence repositories. On-site sessions may still help when teams need observation of operational practices, intensive workshops or support across multiple locations.
A CMMI readiness engagement should produce a clear scope, current-state assessment, gap priorities, evidence plan and practical actions for process owners. The specialist should also explain assumptions and risks instead of promising that documentation alone will guarantee a successful appraisal.
Evaluate a CMMI expert by asking how they connect model practices to daily work, how they test objective evidence and how they handle resistance to change. Strong professionals give concrete examples, communicate clearly with both leadership and delivery teams, and leave behind processes people can maintain.
CMMI is not limited to software organizations. Its improvement approach can support systems engineering, services, supplier management and other operational environments where consistent processes, measurable performance and controlled improvement matter.
