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 it is
Grid Control usually refers to Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, the older name many teams still use for Oracle Enterprise Manager. It is used to monitor Oracle databases, middleware, hosts, and applications from one console. Companies bring in specialists when they need stable operations across complex Oracle estates.
Typical work
- Set up targets, metrics, thresholds, and alerts
- Build dashboards for database and host health
- Schedule jobs, blackouts, and maintenance windows
- Handle patching, compliance, and configuration checks
- Support incident triage and operational handover
Skills around it
Strong professionals know OEM concepts, Oracle Database administration, and the surrounding stack. They work with agents, repositories, notification rules, and privilege models, and they understand how monitoring data flows through the system. In Germany, this often matters in enterprise IT, shared service centers, and regulated environments where clear audit trails are important.
When to hire
Bring in freelance expertise when a setup is noisy, incomplete, or hard to maintain. Common signs are missing targets, weak alerts, slow job chains, or old Grid Control estates that need a clean move to Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. A specialist can also help if your internal team needs short-term support during upgrades or recovery work.
Ecosystem and tooling
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control sits in a larger Oracle toolchain and often touches:
- Oracle Database and ASM
- Oracle Middleware and WebLogic
- Linux and Unix hosts
- Agent deployment and repository tuning
- RMAN, patching, and compliance jobs
The best specialists understand both the console and the underlying systems, so they can fix the cause, not just the alert.
What good looks like
A good Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control specialist documents the current state before changing anything. They keep monitoring useful, reduce false alerts, and make sure the setup fits how operations really work. They also explain trade-offs clearly, which helps when a team still uses the old Grid Control name while planning the next step in Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Grid Control? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Grid Control is used to monitor and manage Oracle estates from one place. Teams rely on it for target health, alerts, patching, jobs, and compliance checks across databases, middleware, and hosts. It is especially useful when operations need a single view of many Oracle systems.
Grid Control is the older name many people use for Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control. In practice, searchers often mean the same Oracle management stack, though some teams may be referring to an older on-prem setup. A freelancer should know both the product history and the current Oracle Enterprise Manager naming.
A strong Grid Control freelancer helps when the setup needs rescue, tuning, or cleanup. Typical cases are broken alerts, missing agents, noisy thresholds, upgrade planning, or a migration from the old console to newer Oracle Enterprise Manager versions. Short-term help is also useful when the internal team is busy with daily operations.
Grid Control work sits close to Oracle Database administration, Linux or Unix operations, and middleware management. Good specialists know agents, repository configuration, privilege control, and job scheduling. They should also understand how monitoring ties into patching, backup, and incident handling.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control is mainly the legacy name and legacy generation of the Oracle monitoring platform. Newer Oracle Enterprise Manager releases offer a more current experience, but many environments still run older deployments or use the Grid Control term in documentation and search. The right specialist can work across both and explain the differences clearly.
Yes, Grid Control work is often done remotely because most tasks are configuration, review, and troubleshooting on Oracle systems. On-site help can still matter for restricted networks, data center access, or sensitive handover sessions. In Germany, many teams ask for clear English and sometimes German for coordination with operations staff.
A good Grid Control specialist can describe the repository, agents, targets, and alert flow without guessing. Look for clear examples of fixing false alerts, cleaning up broken targets, and handling upgrade or migration work. Strong candidates also write clean handover notes and make changes in a controlled way.
Before starting with Grid Control, a freelancer should understand the Oracle version, the size of the monitored estate, and whether the system is still on the old Grid Control name or already on newer Oracle Enterprise Manager. Access, maintenance windows, and change control also matter. That context helps the specialist avoid risky changes and focus on the real problem.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Grid Control in their recent projects is 107 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 855 € based on an 8-hour working day.
