AI Initiatives: identifying and promoting practical Artificial Intelligence use cases across the IT department
As Interim Head of IT for a German medium-sized industrial distributor, I am responsible for 31 IT employees and lead the digital and organizational transformation, reporting directly to executive leadership. I took over an IT department with almost no basic structures – no clear roles, processes, documentation or ticket system – and with significant technical debt that tied up most of its capacity. Introduced agile principles and ways of working in the IT organization and transformed the traditionally structured IT department into cross-functional Scrum and Kanban teams focused on transparency, collaboration, and customer value delivery.
Redesigned the entire IT organization by establishing a modern operating model, introducing new roles such as Product Owner, Scrum Master and Solution Architect and strengthening the organization through strategic hiring and targeted capability development. Recruited and onboarded Agile Coaches to accelerate the transformation and personally managed and coached Scrum Masters as well as IT department leaders to foster servant leadership, self-management and a culture of continuous improvement.
Aligned IT-internal planning across eight teams to three Flight Levels based on Klaus Leopold (strategy, coordination, team), laying the foundation for later company-wide portfolio management. Consolidated the backlog of more than 10 workstreams and prioritized it by business value and cost of delay. Introduced a ticketing system to increase transparency and enable data-driven decision-making, flow-based work management, and greater accountability at all levels.
Established and supported multiple cross-functional teams, including the Operational Core (ERP) domain with dedicated streams for Support, Feature Development and ERP Migration, as well as teams responsible for Warehouse Operations, Maintenance & Operations (M&O) including system engineering and security, Modern Workplace, Data Quality and integration initiatives. Worked closely with Agile Coaches to support team development, remove impediments, and continuously improve delivery effectiveness.
Acted as Interim Product Owner for the operation and enhancement of the existing ERP landscape while supporting the ERP migration as a Project Manager. Reorganized the project organization and had the already negotiated contract with the implementation partner realigned with a focus on approach and overall responsibility; Phase 1 (financial accounting) has been live since October 2025. Collaborated with the selected implementation partner to design and establish the project organization and target operating model for the ERP transformation, introducing agile delivery structures and ways of working. Facilitated the alignment between business, IT and the external vendor and played a key role in negotiating the contractual framework and delivery model to ensure a sustainable foundation for the transformation program.
Initiated the strategic modernization of the workplace environment through the adoption of Microsoft 365 cloud capabilities, establishing the foundation for enhanced collaboration, scalability and future digital services.
Launched AI initiatives to identify practical business use cases and promote the responsible adoption of Artificial Intelligence across the IT department. Encouraged self-management and empowered teams to take ownership of decisions, delivery and continuous improvement.

About the technology
ERP foundations
Enterprise Resource Planning, usually called ERP, connects core business functions in one shared system. Companies use it to manage finance, procurement, inventory, production, sales, projects and human resources. A well-designed ERP setup gives teams consistent data, clear controls and processes that can grow with the business.
Business processes
ERP work starts with understanding how the company operates. Specialists map workflows, remove duplicated steps and translate operational needs into system requirements. They may configure modules for general ledger, accounts payable, order management, warehouse operations, manufacturing or project accounting without forcing every team into the same process.
Platforms and tooling
The ecosystem includes SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle NetSuite and other enterprise management systems. Work often involves APIs, middleware, data warehouses, identity services and business intelligence tools. Strong professionals understand both the selected platform and the surrounding applications that exchange data with it.
Typical project work
Freelance expertise is useful when a company needs focused capacity, specialist knowledge or an independent view during a major change.
- ERP selection, process discovery and solution design
- Module configuration, extensions and workflow automation
- Data cleansing, migration, testing and reconciliation
- Integration with CRM, e-commerce, payroll and logistics systems
- Reporting, dashboards, documentation and user enablement
When expertise matters
Companies often bring in an ERP specialist for a new implementation, a rollout to another business unit or a move from legacy software. They also need support when reporting is unreliable, integrations fail, master data is inconsistent or users avoid the system. Freelancers can provide targeted help without adding permanent capacity to the internal team.
What strong professionals bring
The best ERP professionals combine process knowledge with practical platform skills. They ask precise questions, document decisions and test changes across finance and operational workflows. They protect data quality, understand permissions and controls, and communicate clearly with stakeholders who use different parts of the business. Look for evidence of successful migrations, integrations and measurable process improvements rather than configuration work alone.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Enterprise Resource Planning.
Enterprise Resource Planning is used to coordinate core business activities through shared data and connected workflows. ERP systems commonly support finance, purchasing, inventory, production, sales, projects and human resources, helping companies replace disconnected tools and manual reconciliation.
ERP brings multiple business functions into one coordinated system, while separate applications may offer deeper features in a single area. Companies weigh ERP against a best-of-breed approach by comparing integration needs, process complexity, governance, data consistency and the effort required to maintain several systems.
A strong Enterprise Resource Planning professional often works with data migration, SQL, APIs, middleware, identity management and reporting tools. Depending on the project, useful adjacent knowledge includes accounting, supply chain operations, manufacturing, CRM, e-commerce or change management.
The right level of experience depends on the scope, selected platform and business risk. A focused report or workflow change may need a narrow specialist, while a global rollout, finance transformation or manufacturing implementation calls for someone who has led comparable process, data and integration work.
ERP projects can often be delivered remotely when documentation, secure access and decision-making routines are clear. On-site collaboration can still help during process workshops, warehouse or production discovery, user acceptance testing and go-live preparation.
For Enterprise Resource Planning work, review examples that show the professional’s role, platform responsibility and delivered outcome. Ask how they handle requirements, permissions, data quality, testing, integrations and rollback plans, and speak with stakeholders who can assess their communication and process understanding.
SAP is a major vendor and ecosystem of ERP products, not a synonym for every ERP system. SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business One are examples of ERP solutions, alongside platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle NetSuite and others.
Enterprise Resource Planning implementations are difficult because they combine technology with finance, operations, data ownership and user behavior. The main risks are unclear processes, poor master data, weak integration design, uncontrolled customization and insufficient testing or adoption planning.
The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used Enterprise Resource Planning in their recent projects is 114 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 909 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers who have used Enterprise Resource Planning in their recent projects, 88% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 55% hold at least a Master's degree, and 8% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers who have used Enterprise Resource Planning in their recent projects have 23 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 5.2 years.
The most common languages among freelancers who have used Enterprise Resource Planning in their recent projects are German (99%), English (95%), and French (24%).
The most common industries among freelancers who have used Enterprise Resource Planning in their recent projects are Information Technology (73%), Manufacturing (61%), and Professional Services (60%).
The most common business areas among freelancers who have used Enterprise Resource Planning in their recent projects are Information Technology (83%), Project Management (79%), and Operations (63%).
