Led the end-to-end integration and migration architecture for decommissioning SAP IS-U market communication and transitioning to Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) with E.ON IT Services — covering regulated EDIFACT market messaging, a three-phase data migration (transfer of market message inventory after cutover), redesign of market communication processes, and full GDPR and German energy-market compliance.

• Designed the three-tier target architecture (SAP IS-U → NScale B2B gateway → SFMC) processing 50,000–100,000 EDIFACT messages daily within sub-5-minute SLAs.
• Architected the three-phase data migration: 36 months of historical data, zero-loss cutover of in-flight market messages, and near-real-time CDC synchronization.
• Delivered secure, BDEW/GDPR-compliant integration (AS2/OFTP2, RFC/IDoc, REST APIs, OAuth 2.0, Azure AD, AWS S3) achieving >99.5% uptime, <0.1% migration discrepancy, and RTO <4 hours.
• Applied BPMN to model and optimize the market communication processes.

• Analytics/BI: Power BI, SSAS, Cognos – business‑ready, maintainable data products.

• Goal/Motivation: PAYONE urgently needs a 360° view of its customers. PAYONE has not had an overarching master data strategy so far. It is not possible to identify customers across all relevant systems.

The organization should be enabled to identify customers across all relevant systems. Establishing the basis for master data management at PAYONE

• Challenge: Due to company acquisitions, the system landscape is very heterogeneous. The company is very dynamic and burdened with many system harmonization and integration projects, meaning resource shortages and changes in project priorities repeatedly make this an almost impossible task.

Due to BaFin findings, the project has a central task and role. The initial focus is on migrating all customers, including their AML/KYC data, from the master-data-leading backend systems to Salesforce. This is intended to resolve one of the largest findings and establish the relevant ODD/EDD processes.

In addition, customer data must be harmonized in Salesforce. Some customers were entered multiple times as a result of earlier migrations. The aim is for only one customer record to remain in Salesforce and for the relevant information from the backend systems to show which products the customer uses and in which processing systems they receive Payone services.
