ERP Program Manager at Fiserv
The client is undergoing a comprehensive transformation. All SAP ECC landscapes worldwide are being migrated to SAP S/4HANA, with the goal of introducing a global standard template.
The program also includes the migration and modernization initiative "RISE with SAP", which may involve migrating selected country installations to the SAP Private Cloud.
On the stakeholder side, the program's reporting line extends up to the company's board and the implementation partner's board.
Fiserv Germany's ERP landscape currently includes several non-standard SAP tools and applications that extend the ECC environment's functionality and often integrate with downstream systems. As part of the move to SAP S/4HANA, it is essential to assess the core functionality, integration points, and future viability of these applications to determine their alignment with the target architecture.
The focus of the role is to provide expert advice and assessment to define the scope, strategy, and roadmap for migrating Fiserv Germany's SAP ECC system to SAP S/4HANA.
SAP's recommended best practices 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, ensuring alignment with industry best practices, regulatory compliance, and future scalability.
Migration strategy definition – evaluating 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 needed to implement required functions in SAP S/4HANA and identify process optimization opportunities.
Roadmap for non-SAP systems and applications – evaluating third-party and legacy applications for SAP S/4HANA integration and recommending consolidation, migration, or replacement strategies.
Deployment & implementation planning – defining a phased rollout approach, including project timelines, risk mitigation strategies, and key milestones aligned with business priorities.
The transformation is carried out in phases: the discovery phase leads to the explore phase, which then leads to the design phase and finally to the implementation phase.

About the technology
What dBASE is
dBASE is a long-running xBase environment for data-driven business applications. Companies still use it for form-based tools, reporting, and operational databases that grew up around DBF files and legacy workflows.
Where it fits
- Maintain older business applications and shared desktop tools
- Update database logic, screens, and print output
- Connect dBASE data with newer systems and exports
- Support migrations from xBase, Clipper, or FoxPro setups
Tooling and ecosystem
dBASE work often touches DBF files, SQL-style access, import and export routines, and script-heavy business logic. Strong specialists know the surrounding xBase family, especially Visual dBASE and Borland dBASE, and can read code that has been extended over many years.
When companies bring in help
Freelance expertise is useful when internal teams no longer know the old codebase or when a release must be made without breaking live operations. In Germany, this comes up often in firms with long-lived admin, logistics, or finance systems that still depend on dBASE data and need careful support.
What strong specialists do
A good professional can trace data flow, isolate brittle routines, and keep reports, forms, and file handling stable. They write clear fixes, document what the system really does, and reduce risk before any larger migration or rewrite.
Modernization path
Many projects start with a need to preserve current behavior, then move toward cleaner integrations or replacement. dBASE expertise matters when the goal is not just to keep an old system running, but to make its data and rules usable in newer software without losing business logic.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about dBASE, in one place.
dBASE is used for legacy data entry, reporting, and small operational applications built around DBF files and xBase logic. Many companies still rely on it for stable desktop workflows where the business rules are already embedded in existing forms and scripts.
dBASE is the best-known product name in the xBase family, which also includes related tools and dialects such as Visual dBASE. In practice, companies often use these terms loosely, so a strong specialist should understand the code style, file formats, and migration paths across the family.
dBASE help makes sense when no one on the team can safely change the old code, when reports or file handling are breaking, or when a migration is blocked by unclear business logic. A freelancer can step in for maintenance, bug fixes, documentation, or a controlled modernization plan.
A strong dBASE specialist usually knows DBF files, SQL concepts, data migration, and integration work with older Windows-based business software. Useful extras include reporting, file conversion, and the ability to read other xBase code such as Clipper or FoxPro.
dBASE is much better suited to maintaining legacy applications than building new systems from scratch. Compared with modern relational platforms and web stacks, it is older and more constrained, but it can be the safest choice when the existing workflow already depends on it.
dBASE projects can often be handled remotely because the work is usually code review, data repair, and controlled changes to application logic. On-site support can still help when a company needs access to local systems, old workstations, or users who know the process best.
A strong dBASE professional explains the current system clearly, finds the real dependencies, and changes code without disrupting existing data. Look for someone who writes concise documentation, handles edge cases in DBF-based workflows, and understands how the application will be maintained after the fix.
dBASE work often means dealing with incomplete documentation, long-lived business rules, and data that must not be damaged. Freelancers should be comfortable reading older code, asking precise questions, and keeping communication clear with stakeholders who depend on the system every day.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used dBASE in their recent projects is 102 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 817 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used dBASE in their recent projects, 65% hold at least a Bachelor's degree and 39% hold at least a Master's degree.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used dBASE in their recent projects have 34 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 1.7 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used dBASE in their recent projects are German (100%), English (100%), and French (33%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used dBASE in their recent projects are Information Technology (91%), Manufacturing (79%), and Automotive (67%).
The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used dBASE in their recent projects are Information Technology (97%), Project Management (85%), and Quality Assurance (85%).
