Last position:
Interim Head of PMO at RAILPOOL GmbH
Due to the steady growth of the customer organization and the associated increase in the number of projects in a wide range of areas, including IT/digitalization, sales and organizational development, and controlling, the demands on the projects are increasing. Projects are often started but not implemented within the planned time frame, resources are not clearly assigned, and the business value is not clearly demonstrated. The goal of the assignment as Interim Head of PMO is to further develop and embed an existing project organization from the CDO area at management level. It is important that the governance is pragmatic, easy to understand, and simple to apply in daily project work. The tasks and roles are to be defined, embedded in the organization, and this strategic PMO is also to be supported by an IT solution. This solution is to be selected and introduced. In addition, all ongoing projects are to be gradually transferred into PMO governance and project control is to be centralized.

About the technology
ERP basics Enterprise Resource Planning ties core business work into one system. It connects finance, purchasing, inventory, sales, production, and reporting so teams work from the same data. Companies use it to replace scattered tools and manual handoffs.
Common systems
The work often centers on SAP, especially SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA, but also Oracle ERP Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and related modules. Strong specialists know how these systems fit into master data, approval flows, and process design.
- Finance and controlling
- Procurement and order flow
- Warehouse and inventory
- Production and planning
- Reporting and analytics
What experts deliver
ERP experts help with implementation, migration, cleanup, integration, and testing. They map business processes, tune role and authorization setups, and make sure interfaces to CRM, HR, logistics, or e-commerce tools work cleanly. Good work leaves fewer manual steps and more reliable data.
When to bring them in
Bring in freelance specialists when a rollout needs extra hands, when an old system must move to a new version, or when key processes are blocked by bad data or weak reporting. In Germany, companies often need support across finance-heavy and manufacturing-heavy environments, sometimes on-site for workshops and mainly remote for build and test work.
Skills that matter
Strong ERP professionals understand process design, master data, integrations, and change control. They can read business requirements, translate them into system settings, and work closely with finance, operations, and IT. They should also document clearly and handle UAT without guesswork.
- SAP and related modules
- Interface and API work
- Data migration and cleansing
- Security and authorizations
- Testing and release support
How to judge fit
Look for specialists who have handled full lifecycle work, not only configuration screens. Ask how they deal with dependency risks, data quality, and cutover planning. The best professionals explain trade-offs clearly, keep scope controlled, and stay calm when the process changes late.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Enterprise Resource Planning? These answers cover the essentials.
Enterprise Resource Planning is used to run core business processes in one connected system. It supports finance, procurement, inventory, production, sales, and management reporting so data does not have to be re-entered across tools. That makes it a fit for companies that want cleaner process control and better visibility.
ERP is the business system category, while SAP is one of the best-known vendors in that category. Many teams mean SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, or a related SAP module when they say ERP, but Oracle ERP Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics 365 are also common choices. A strong specialist should understand both the process layer and the specific product.
Start with the business scope: finance, supply chain, manufacturing, or reporting. Then ask which system version they have worked on, how they handle master data, interfaces, testing, and cutover. For Enterprise Resource Planning, the best fit is someone who can explain real project decisions, not just list module names.
A good Enterprise Resource Planning specialist often brings process analysis, data migration, integration knowledge, and testing discipline. Familiarity with SAP, Oracle ERP Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics, APIs, and reporting tools is common, depending on the project. Communication matters too, because these projects sit between business teams and technical teams.
ERP projects need different depth depending on the task. A rollout or migration usually needs a senior specialist who has seen data issues, release risks, and end-user training before. Smaller work like a report fix or a process workshop may only need focused expertise in one module.
Enterprise Resource Planning work is often hybrid. Workshops, key-user sessions, and cutover planning may benefit from on-site time, while configuration, testing support, and documentation are often handled remotely. In Germany, many teams also expect clear English and sometimes German for local stakeholders.
Look for evidence of similar systems, similar process scope, and similar complexity. A strong ERP professional can describe how they managed dependencies, data quality, and user acceptance, not just the final go-live. Clear documentation and calm problem-solving are good signs.
Enterprise Resource Planning is usually the system of record for core operational and financial processes. CRM focuses on customer relationships, while HR software focuses on people processes, though all three often integrate closely. The best specialist knows where ERP should own the data and where another system should do the work.
