Last position:
Project Manager at Payone GmbH (Worldline AG)
- Goal/Motivation: PAYONE urgently needs a 360° view of its customers. So far, PAYONE has no overall master data strategy. It is not possible to identify customers across all relevant systems.
The organization is to be enabled to identify customers across all relevant systems. Creating the foundation for master data management at PAYONE
- Challenge: Due to acquisitions, the system landscape is very heterogeneous. The company is very dynamic and burdened with many system harmonization and integration projects, so resource bottlenecks and changes in project priorities are again and again almost impossible to handle.
Due to BaFin findings, the project has a central task and role. The first focus is on migrating all customers from the master-data-leading backend systems with their AML/KYC data to Salesforce. This is intended to resolve one of the largest findings and establish the corresponding ODD/EDD processes.
In addition, customer data must be harmonized in Salesforce. Previous migrations led in some cases to duplicate customer records. In the end, only one customer should be maintained in Salesforce and, with the corresponding information from the backend systems, it should also be possible to recognize which products and in which processing systems the customer uses Payone services.

Integration: 8 (subsystems/interfaces)

About the technology
Migration scope
Data migration moves information from one system to another without breaking business work. It covers database migration, application changes, cloud moves, and legacy system replacement. Strong specialists plan what moves, what changes, and what must stay exactly the same.
Typical work
- Source and target mapping
- Data cleansing and transformation rules
- Validation, reconciliation, and cutover support
- ETL and batch load preparation
- Legacy system exit planning
Tooling and methods
Data migration work often sits next to SQL, ETL tools, scripting, and test automation. In many projects, specialists work with data warehouses, APIs, staging tables, and migration scripts. Good work is repeatable, logged, and easy to review.
When companies bring in help
Companies bring in freelance expertise when a move is risky, time-sensitive, or tied to a release. That is common for ERP changes, CRM upgrades, cloud transitions, and mergers. In Germany, teams often need specialists who can work with local stakeholders, technical teams, and business users in clear English or German.
What strong specialists do
Strong data migration professionals know how to protect integrity, detect duplicates, handle missing fields, and verify results before go-live. They understand source system quirks, target constraints, and rollback planning. They also document assumptions so the business can trust the new data from day one.
Signs you need one
- Data lives in old systems with poor documentation
- Multiple departments use different definitions for the same records
- The target system has strict field and format rules
- The cutover window is short and failure is costly
- You need a clean handover after go-live
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Data Migration? These answers cover the essentials.
Data Migration is used to move business records from one system to another while keeping them accurate and usable. It is common in database replacement, cloud moves, ERP changes, CRM consolidation, and legacy shutdowns. The real goal is not just transfer, but trusted data in the target system.
Data Migration is broader than ETL or a one-time import. ETL may be part of the work, but migration also covers source analysis, mapping, validation, cutover, and rollback planning. A simple import loads data; a migration makes sure the business can keep operating after the move.
A strong Data Migration specialist usually brings SQL, data modeling, scripting, and testing skills. Experience with ETL tools, APIs, file formats, and source-to-target mapping is also important. In larger programs, knowledge of ERP, CRM, or cloud platforms helps a lot.
For Data Migration, you do not need a generalist who has seen every system. You need someone who has handled a similar source and target pattern, such as legacy database to cloud application or ERP to ERP. The key is proven work on mapping, cleansing, reconciliation, and go-live support.
Data Migration can often be done remotely because much of the work is analysis, scripting, and validation. On-site time helps during workshops, cutover weekends, or when business users need fast decisions. In Germany, many teams use a mix of both depending on the project phase.
The biggest risks in Data Migration are bad source data, unclear field mappings, missed dependencies, and weak validation. Problems also appear when teams underestimate downtime, security needs, or downstream reports. A careful specialist reduces these risks with clear rules and test runs.
Ask for examples of migration plans, reconciliation methods, and cutover checklists. A good Data Migration professional can explain how they track records, prove completeness, and handle exceptions without guessing. Clear documentation and calm answers about failure scenarios are strong signs.
For Data Migration, freelancers need to know the source and target systems, the business rules, the data owners, and the acceptance criteria. They should also understand timelines, privacy rules, and who approves changes. The best projects give access to sample data, existing mappings, and a clear test plan.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Data Migration in their recent projects is 107 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 860 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Data Migration in their recent projects, 88% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 51% hold at least a Master's degree, and 5% hold a doctorate.
