Luca P.
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
Business Continuity Management Fundamentals
ISO 22301 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, and continually improving a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS). The international standard establishes a documented management structure to protect organizations against disruptive incidents. It ensures core operations resume swiftly after technical outages, natural disasters, or supply chain failures.
Core Methodology and Operational Framework
- Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to identify critical operations and recovery priorities
- Risk assessment methodologies focused on threat identification and mitigating disruption
- Business continuity strategies defining recovery time and point objectives
- Incident response procedures, communication channels, and testing exercises
BCMS Integration in Regulated German Sectors
Organizations across Germany integrate ISO 22301 into heavily regulated landscapes such as financial services, critical infrastructure (KRITIS), and advanced manufacturing. Alignment with local frameworks like BSI Standard 200-4 reinforces organizational resilience. Specialists handle bilingual documentation and tailor international mandates to German regulatory requirements.
Practical Delivery and Key Artifacts
Practitioners translate standard clauses into functioning operational controls. They draft continuity plans, establish crisis management escalation protocols, and design realistic simulation exercises. Their deliverables provide measurable continuity metrics and clear procedures that operational teams can execute during actual emergencies.
Certification Readiness and Internal Auditing
Independent reviews ensure the management system aligns with third-party audit requirements for formal certification. Professionals conduct gap assessments, run internal audit programs, and address corrective actions. They liaise with accredited certification bodies to confirm operational readiness and maintain compliance lifecycle stages.
Characteristics of Qualified Specialists
Experienced professionals possess hands-on familiarity with crisis coordination and risk management tooling. They balance executive communication with technical details across IT infrastructure, physical security, and supply chain logistics. Proven practitioners turn standard requirements into pragmatic safeguards rather than administrative overhead.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about ISO 22301 — answered in short.
Implementing ISO 22301 structures how an organization prepares for, responds to, and recovers from disruptions. It provides a formal system to protect revenue, fulfill regulatory requirements, and preserve brand reputation during operational interruptions.
While ISO 27001 concentrates on information security and data confidentiality, ISO 22301 covers broader operational continuity across all business units. Many organizations deploy an integrated management system to unify security measures with overarching disaster recovery protocols.
Yes, many entities align their ISO 22301:2019 controls directly with the BSI Standard 200-4 methodology issued by the Federal Office for Information Security. Both frameworks prioritize rigorous impact analysis and crisis management, allowing businesses in Germany to streamline audits.
A capable ISO 22301 professional holds recognized credentials like Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor certification alongside practical project delivery history. Look for specialists who have steered organizations through full certification audits and conducted tabletop crisis exercises.
Specialists working with the Business Continuity Management System standard regularly possess expertise in IT disaster recovery, enterprise risk management, crisis communications, and supply chain governance. This broad scope ensures continuity plans address both infrastructure failures and operational dependencies.
Most documentation, gap assessments, and impact analyses for ISO 22301 proceed smoothly in remote setups. However, leading crisis simulations, inspecting data centers, and coaching local teams across Germany often require periodic on-site visits.
Ad hoc business continuity programs often lack standard governance, measurable KPIs, and disciplined review cycles. Adopting ISO 22301 provides an internationally recognized benchmark with formal auditability, demonstrating resilience to enterprise clients and statutory regulators.
Engagements concerning ISO 22301 in Germany frequently require professional fluency in German and English. While core policies in global firms are often English, local crisis escalation pathways, authority notifications, and staff training materials must be maintained in German.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 22301 in their recent projects is 122 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 979 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used ISO 22301 in their recent projects, 92% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 46% hold at least a Master's degree, and 12% hold a doctorate.
