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.

Harald K.
Last position:
Lecturer - Business Informatics & Business Administration at Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM)
As part of my work, I focus on three key areas that are essential for the innovation and future viability of business and society: business start-ups, digitalization and automation, and career planning and personal development.
One focus is on the challenges and opportunities of starting a business—especially academic start-ups as drivers of regional and national innovation. I teach skills for the entire start-up process: from idea creation and building viable business models to managing and scaling a company.
The topic of digitalization and automation covers technical, economic, and social dimensions. It includes basics of digitalization, automation technologies, IIoT and smart manufacturing, software and IT infrastructures, and application areas in various industries. I also analyze human-machine interaction, economic impacts, and future trends that have a lasting effect on companies.
In the area of career planning and personal development, I support future specialists and managers in developing their personal strengths, recognizing their entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial potential, and designing an individual market and career strategy. Topics such as personal branding, personal marketing, and strategic career planning are key to fostering long-term professional direction and proactive action.

About the technology
What ISO 22301 covers
ISO 22301 is the international standard for business continuity management systems, commonly shortened to BCMS. It helps organizations prepare for disruption, maintain critical products and services, and recover in a controlled way. The standard addresses governance, planning, response, recovery, and continual improvement rather than a single emergency procedure.
Where it is applied
Companies use ISO 22301 across sectors where interruption can affect customers, safety, revenue, or regulated operations. Typical work includes:
- Defining business continuity policies and objectives
- Mapping critical activities, dependencies, and recovery priorities
- Creating continuity and crisis response plans
- Testing responses through exercises and simulations
- Preparing evidence for certification audits
Framework and tooling
Strong professionals connect the standard with business impact analysis, risk assessment, incident management, and disaster recovery. They may work with governance, risk, and compliance platforms, service management tools, document repositories, and recovery runbooks. The work often interfaces with ISO 27001, IT service continuity, information security, supplier management, and crisis communications.
When companies need support
Freelance expertise is useful when a company is establishing a BCMS, replacing fragmented continuity documents, or preparing for an initial or follow-up certification audit. It also helps after an acquisition, major process change, cyber incident, site relocation, or review of critical suppliers. In Germany, specialists may need to coordinate remote workshops with on-site operational teams and communicate clearly in English and German.
Typical deliverables
A project can produce a continuity policy, scope statement, context analysis, business impact analysis, risk register, recovery strategy, and documented procedures. Further deliverables may include crisis team roles, communication trees, exercise records, corrective action plans, and management review materials. The right approach reflects the organization’s actual processes instead of copying generic templates.
What strong professionals bring
The best specialists combine practical continuity planning with a precise reading of ISO 22301 requirements. They can interview process owners, challenge unrealistic recovery assumptions, translate dependencies into workable controls, and guide teams through exercises without disrupting operations. They also distinguish certification readiness from genuine resilience and leave clear documentation that internal teams can maintain.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about ISO 22301 — answered in short.
ISO 22301 is used to establish, operate, maintain, and improve a business continuity management system. It gives organizations a structured way to manage disruption risks, protect critical activities, and support timely recovery.
ISO 22301 focuses on continuity of products and services during disruptive events, while ISO 27001 focuses on information security management. The standards can work together because continuity planning often depends on protecting information, systems, suppliers, and communications.
A strong ISO 22301 specialist often brings experience in business impact analysis, operational risk, crisis management, disaster recovery, and audit preparation. Knowledge of ISO 27001, IT service management, supplier resilience, and emergency communications is also valuable.
The required depth depends on the scope, organizational complexity, and certification goal. An ISO 22301 freelancer should have handled comparable continuity assessments, plans, exercises, or audit preparation and be able to show how the work operated in practice.
Much of an ISO 22301 project can be completed remotely through interviews, document reviews, workshops, and evidence tracking. On-site sessions are useful for validating facilities, operational dependencies, emergency roles, and recovery arrangements, especially when teams work across locations.
ISO 22301 replaced BS 25999 as the internationally recognized requirements standard for business continuity management systems. It provides a certifiable framework, while related guidance can still help organizations interpret continuity practices and apply them effectively.
Ask how the ISO 22301 professional turns business objectives, dependencies, and disruption scenarios into tested plans. Review the clarity of their impact analysis, the realism of recovery strategies, their audit experience, and whether they can engage process owners rather than relying on boilerplate documents.
An ISO 22301 certification project commonly includes defining scope, assessing impacts and risks, selecting continuity strategies, documenting procedures, training relevant teams, running exercises, and closing improvement actions. The specialist should also help prepare management reviews and organized evidence for the certification audit.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 22301 in their recent projects is 123 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 984 € based on an 8-hour working day.
