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
Streamlining Mid-Market ERP Systems
SAP Business One, also known as SAP B1, is a comprehensive enterprise resource planning solution designed specifically for small to medium-sized enterprises. It integrates core business functions including finance, sales, customer relationship management, inventory, and operations into a single unified system.
Typical Implementation and Migration Projects
German companies, particularly within the Mittelstand, leverage this ERP platform to transition from fragmented legacy systems to a single source of truth. Typical projects focus on specific operational needs:
- Setting up native localization, tax compliance, and GoBD-compliant accounting.
- Migrating legacy database systems to modern SAP HANA high-performance databases.
- Automating warehouse management and supply chain logistics for manufacturing.
- Connecting e-commerce platforms and external CRM systems via integration hubs.
Technical Architecture and Customization
The technical ecosystem relies heavily on database performance and custom development interfaces. Professionals working with this technology must navigate specific customization tools to bridge standard functionality with custom business logic.
- Service Layer and DI API for secure third-party application connections.
- SAP Business One Software Development Kit for tailored add-on creation.
- SAP Crystal Reports for advanced enterprise reporting and document layouts.
- Intercompany Integration Solution for multi-branch operations.
Crucial Phases for External Expertise
Bringing in freelance experts is critical during major upgrade cycles, database migrations, or custom integration phases. Internal IT teams often lack the highly specialized knowledge required to customize the database schema or write efficient SQL queries without disrupting daily business operations.
Key Skills of Leading ERP Consultants
Top-tier professionals combine deep technical expertise with a strong understanding of business processes. They easily translate complex financial or logistical workflows into technical configurations within the ERP system, ensuring that data flows seamlessly across departments.
Working with Experts in Germany
For projects in Germany, local expertise is essential due to strict national accounting standards and regional supply chain laws. Freelance specialists who speak fluent German and understand the local business culture can easily collaborate with on-site teams and manage stakeholder expectations during complex rollouts.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about SAP Business One? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
SAP Business One integrates all core departments of a growing company, including finance, sales, purchasing, and inventory. It provides real-time insights through interactive dashboards, enabling business leaders to make data-driven decisions and automate routine tasks.
While MS SQL is a reliable option for basic ERP needs, SAP HANA delivers massive speed advantages through in-memory computing. Most modern implementations utilize the HANA database to enable real-time analytics, faster reporting, and superior performance for large datasets.
A well-rounded SAP Business One professional should possess strong database query skills in SQL or HANA-specific syntax. Additionally, experience with C# .NET for SDK development, Crystal Reports for layout design, and API integration protocols is highly valuable.
Upgrading SAP Business One requires careful planning to prevent data loss and ensure that custom add-ons remain compatible. An expert will typically perform extensive testing in a sandbox environment before migrating the live system to the latest release.
SAP Business One includes localized features specifically designed to comply with German accounting standards and GoBD regulations. Experts configure electronic tax declarations, ELSTER integration, and fixed asset management according to local statutory requirements.
While technical configuration, database optimization, and development can be done remotely, key phases of a SAP Business One project often benefit from on-site collaboration. Initial business blueprinting and final user training in Germany are typically more effective when conducted in person.
Standard features of SAP B1 cover most core workflows, but unique industry requirements often demand customization. A skilled expert will write custom code using the SDK or the Service Layer to build tailor-made add-ons without breaking the standard upgrade path.
Reviewing past integration projects and asking the candidate to explain their database customization methodology is highly effective. A qualified SAP Business One specialist should demonstrate a clear understanding of both technical APIs and functional accounting workflows.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used SAP Business One in their recent projects is 111 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 890 € based on an 8-hour working day.
