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
Cloud transformation
RISE with SAP is a managed business transformation offering built around SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It combines cloud infrastructure, software, operations and transformation services in one commercial framework. Companies use it to modernize core ERP processes while moving away from heavily customized legacy systems.
S/4HANA delivery
Projects commonly cover SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, system conversion, new implementations and selective data transitions. Specialists shape the target architecture, map finance and supply chain processes, plan releases and coordinate testing. They also prepare cutover, training and post-go-live support.
Ecosystem and tooling
RISE with SAP work spans SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Integration Suite, SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Fiori. Strong professionals also understand SAP Activate, Cloud ALM, identity services, data migration and integration with non-SAP applications. Knowledge of hyperscaler environments can support infrastructure and security decisions.
When to bring expertise
- A legacy SAP ERP system needs a controlled move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud
- Business units require a harmonized global process model
- Integrations, extensions or data quality are blocking the transition
- Internal teams need support for testing, cutover or release planning
Freelance specialists are useful when a program needs focused knowledge without expanding the permanent team. In Germany, they may work remotely, on site or in a hybrid model with business and IT stakeholders.
Practical delivery skills
A capable RISE with SAP professional connects process design with technical execution. They can document fit-to-standard decisions, manage scope, challenge unnecessary custom code and translate business requirements into a workable backlog. Clear communication in English and, where needed, German helps distributed project teams move decisions forward.
Choosing a specialist
Look for evidence of comparable SAP S/4HANA Cloud or private-edition deliveries, not only general SAP experience. Ask how the professional handled migration objects, integrations, authorizations, testing defects and cutover risks. Strong specialists explain trade-offs clearly, keep documentation usable and define acceptance criteria before configuration begins.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about RISE with SAP — answered in short.
RISE with SAP is used to move and operate SAP ERP processes on SAP S/4HANA Cloud with managed services around the transformation. It supports finance, procurement, manufacturing, sales, supply chain and other core business functions. The exact scope depends on the selected edition and the company’s transformation plan.
RISE with SAP combines SAP S/4HANA Cloud, infrastructure, technical operations and transformation support in a coordinated offering. Traditional hosting may provide infrastructure and operations without the same packaged path to process standardization and cloud ERP adoption. The contract scope should be checked carefully because responsibilities can vary.
RISE with SAP work often requires SAP S/4HANA process knowledge alongside SAP BTP, SAP Integration Suite, data migration and SAP Fiori expertise. Useful adjacent skills include SAP Cloud ALM, identity and access management, analytics, test management and change enablement. Knowledge of the company’s industry processes is also valuable.
RISE with SAP projects need experience matched to their scope, not a generic seniority label. A simple workstream may need a focused specialist, while a global transformation requires professionals who have handled architecture, governance, migration and cutover dependencies. Ask for examples that closely resemble the planned edition, industry and delivery model.
RISE with SAP projects can often be delivered remotely, especially for configuration, documentation, testing and integration work. Workshops, process validation and cutover planning may benefit from on-site sessions. German language skills can help when local business teams, plants or compliance stakeholders are closely involved.
RISE with SAP quality is best assessed through specific delivery evidence. Ask the professional to explain migration choices, fit-to-standard decisions, integration monitoring, defect handling and go-live controls from a comparable project. A strong answer is structured, practical and clear about risks rather than promising a frictionless transformation.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition can suit companies that need more flexibility for existing processes, extensions or a system conversion while still pursuing managed cloud operations. A public-cloud approach generally favors stronger standardization and more controlled extensibility. The choice depends on process complexity, customization, data constraints and the desired operating model.
RISE with SAP freelancers should clarify the selected product edition, project phase, delivery partner responsibilities and decision-making structure. They should also confirm access to systems, migration tools, process owners, documentation and the expected on-site rhythm. Clear boundaries around deliverables and handovers prevent gaps between SAP, the company and other specialists.
