Last position:
ERP Program Manager at Fiserv
The customer is undergoing a comprehensive transformation. All SAP ECC landscapes worldwide are being migrated to SAP S/4HANA, with the goal of introducing a standard template worldwide.
The program also includes the “RISE with SAP” migration and modernization program, which may involve migrating the landscapes of selected country installations to the SAP Private Cloud.
On the stakeholder side, the program reporting line extends to the company’s executive board and that of the implementation partner.
Fiserv Germany’s ERP landscape currently includes several non-standard SAP tools and applications that extend the functionality of the ECC environment and can often be integrated into downstream systems. As part of the transition to SAP S/4HANA, it is essential to assess the core functionality, integration points and future viability of these applications in order to determine their alignment with the target architecture.
The focus of the work is on providing expert advice and assessment to define the scope, strategy and roadmap for transitioning Fiserv Germany’s SAP ECC system to SAP S/4HANA.
The recommended best practices from SAP 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 and ensures alignment with industry best practices, regulatory compliance and future scalability.
Migration Strategy Definition – assessment of 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 required to implement the necessary functions in SAP S/4HANA and to identify opportunities for process optimization.
Roadmap for Non-SAP Systems and Applications – assessment of third-party and legacy applications regarding their integration with SAP S/4HANA and recommendation of consolidation, migration or replacement strategies.
Deployment & Implementation Planning – defining a phased approach for implementation, including project schedules, risk mitigation strategies and key milestones aligned with business priorities.
This transformation takes place in phases: the Discovery phase leads to the Explore phase, which is followed by the Design phase and finally implementation.

About the technology
Scientific computing foundation
Fortran is a compiled programming language built for numerical work, array processing and high-performance scientific computing. Companies use it for climate models, computational fluid dynamics, structural analysis, finance, energy simulations and research software. Its mature compilers and numerical libraries support long-lived systems where correctness and execution speed matter.
Modern Fortran systems
Current Fortran practices include modules, derived types, explicit interfaces, parallel execution and safer memory handling. Strong specialists work with modern language standards while preserving stable routines written in older Fortran dialects. They improve structure without disrupting validated calculations or established production workflows.
Compilers and tooling
The ecosystem commonly includes GNU Fortran, Intel Fortran Compiler, LLVM-based toolchains and vendor-specific high-performance computing environments. Professionals may also use C and C++ interoperability, MPI, OpenMP, BLAS, LAPACK, NetCDF and HDF5. Build automation, testing, profiling and continuous integration help keep numerical results reproducible.
Where companies use it
Fortran expertise is valuable when software sits close to scientific or industrial decision-making:
- Extend climate, weather and geospatial models
- Optimize simulation and computational fluid dynamics workloads
- Maintain energy, aerospace and automotive calculation systems
- Connect numerical libraries to Python, C++ or web services
- Port workloads to clusters, accelerators or cloud environments
When freelance expertise helps
Companies often bring in a specialist during a modernization program, a performance bottleneck or a critical handover. A freelance professional can assess unfamiliar source code, document algorithms, migrate compiler toolchains and create tests around sensitive numerical behavior. In Germany, remote collaboration is common, while on-site work can help with restricted research, industrial or high-performance computing environments.
What strong specialists deliver
The best Fortran professionals combine language knowledge with numerical methods, parallel computing and domain understanding. They explain assumptions behind formulas, compare results against trusted references and profile before changing code. Look for clear documentation, disciplined version control, reproducible builds and practical experience integrating Fortran with the surrounding software landscape.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Fortran.
Fortran is mainly used for scientific and technical software that performs intensive numerical calculations. Typical applications include weather prediction, computational fluid dynamics, structural analysis, energy modeling and research computing.
Fortran is especially strong for array-based numerical code and established high-performance workloads. C++ offers broader systems and object-oriented capabilities, while Python is often preferred for orchestration, data analysis and rapid experimentation; many production systems combine all three.
A strong Fortran freelancer often also understands numerical methods, Linux, Git, C or C++ interoperability and parallel programming. Experience with MPI, OpenMP, BLAS, LAPACK, NetCDF or HDF5 is valuable when the work involves clusters, scientific data or large simulations.
The right level for a Fortran project depends on code age, numerical risk and the required deliverable. A small maintenance task may need focused language knowledge, while modernization or performance work calls for someone who can understand algorithms, compiler behavior, testing and the relevant scientific domain.
Fortran work is often well suited to remote collaboration because source code, build systems, tests and benchmark data can be shared digitally. On-site cooperation may still matter for secure research environments, laboratory workflows or industrial systems with restricted access, and German or English communication should be agreed early.
Ask a Fortran specialist to explain how they would validate numerical changes, investigate a performance issue and handle compiler differences. Strong answers cover reproducible builds, regression tests, profiling, numerical tolerances and clear documentation rather than relying on speed claims alone.
With Fortran, modernization is often safer than a full rewrite when the existing algorithms are validated and still deliver business value. A careful specialist can introduce modules, interfaces, automated tests and improved tooling incrementally, while a rewrite may be justified when the architecture, portability or integration requirements have fundamentally changed.
Working with Fortran often means learning domain formulas, build conventions and assumptions that are not fully documented. Freelancers should be comfortable reading older source, preserving numerical behavior, collaborating with experts in science or industry and explaining technical changes in terms that stakeholders can verify.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Fortran in their recent projects is 98 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 788 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Fortran in their recent projects, 94% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 71% hold at least a Master's degree, and 25% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Fortran in their recent projects have 28 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.5 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used Fortran in their recent projects are English (97%), German (96%), and French (38%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used Fortran in their recent projects are Information Technology (78%), Manufacturing (59%), and Automotive (53%).
The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used Fortran in their recent projects are Information Technology (86%), Product Development (78%), and Project Management (72%).
