Luca Pacor
Last position:
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
Core use
SAP Business One is an ERP system for small and mid-sized companies that need a single view of finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, and operations. It is often called SAP B1 or simply Business One. Strong specialists know where standard settings are enough and where process changes need careful design.
Typical work
- Set up finance, tax, and approval flows
- Adapt sales, purchasing, and inventory processes
- Build reports, dashboards, and exports
- Connect add-ons, APIs, and external systems
Ecosystem skills
The best professionals work across the SAP Business One stack, from database logic and service layers to integration tools and reporting. They often handle DI API, Service Layer, Crystal Reports, HANA, and SQL-based extensions. That mix matters when a process spans core ERP data and other business software.
When companies need help
Companies usually bring in freelance expertise during implementations, data migration, restructuring, or after years of custom changes. They also need help when a release breaks an add-on, workflows slow down, or reports no longer match the business. In Germany, teams often ask for experts who can work clearly with finance and operations stakeholders.
What strong experts do
A strong SAP Business One specialist asks how the business runs before changing the system. They document master data, transaction flow, and approval logic, then test the result against real work. Good professionals also leave clean handover notes so internal teams can support the setup later.
Industries and collaboration
SAP Business One is common in distribution, manufacturing, wholesale, and service companies that need reliable back-office control. Some projects work well remotely, especially reporting and integration tasks. On-site time can help when process mapping, go-live support, or user training needs close contact with local teams.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about SAP Business One? Start with the answers below.
SAP Business One is used to run core business processes in one system, especially finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, and basic production. Companies choose it when they want tighter control over daily operations without moving to a larger enterprise suite. It is also common for reporting and approval workflows that need clear data across departments.
Yes. SAP B1 is a common shorthand for SAP Business One, and many searchers use both names. In project discussions, people may also shorten it to Business One, but the official product name is still the safest term for scope and documentation.
A company usually brings in a SAP Business One specialist when it needs implementation support, data migration, process changes, or help after an upgrade. Freelancers are also useful when custom reports, integrations, or add-ons need attention and internal teams are already busy. If the system works but the process does not, outside expertise can save time.
A strong SAP Business One professional usually knows finance processes, master data design, and integration patterns. Many also work with SQL, HANA, the Service Layer, DI API, and reporting tools such as Crystal Reports. Business process understanding matters as much as technical setup.
SAP Business One is lighter and more focused than larger SAP systems such as SAP S/4HANA. It is aimed at smaller organizations that want ERP control without the complexity of a full enterprise rollout. For many teams, the choice depends on process depth, integration needs, and internal support capacity.
The amount of experience depends on the scope, but SAP Business One work needs someone who has handled real business data and real rollouts before. Simple reporting or small workflow changes can fit a focused specialist, while migrations and integrations need broader ERP experience. The right person should be able to explain trade-offs clearly.
Yes, many SAP Business One tasks can be done remotely, especially configuration, reporting, debugging, and integration work. On-site collaboration helps when teams need process workshops, user training, or go-live support. In mixed setups, clear communication with local stakeholders is usually the key factor.
Look for evidence that the SAP Business One expert understands both the product and the business process. Good signs are clean documentation, realistic testing, careful handling of master data, and the ability to explain why a setup fits the process. Ask for examples of similar work, especially if your project involves add-ons, reporting, or migration.
