Last position:
Project Manager at Payone GmbH (Worldline AG)
- Objective/Motivation: PAYONE urgently needs a 360° view of its customers. So far, PAYONE has had no company-wide master data strategy. It is not possible to identify customers across all relevant systems.
The organization is to be enabled to identify customers across all relevant systems. Establishing the basis for master data management at PAYONE
- Challenge: Due to company acquisitions, the system landscape is very heterogeneous. The company is highly dynamic and burdened with many system harmonization and integration projects, meaning that resource bottlenecks and changes in project priorities repeatedly create an almost impossible task.
Due to BaFin findings, the project has a central task and role. The first focus is the migration of all customers, including their AML/KYC data, from the master data backend systems to Salesforce. This is intended to resolve one of the largest findings and establish the corresponding ODD/EDD processes.
In addition, customer data must be harmonized in Salesforce. Previous migrations resulted in duplicate customer records in some cases. The aim is therefore to maintain only one customer in Salesforce and, using the relevant information from the backend systems, also be able to identify which products the customer uses and in which processing systems the customer obtains PAYONE services.
Project: ONE Customer
Budget: €1.5 million
Team: 10/30 employees (full-time/part-time); 4 vendors/providers
Integration: 8 (subsystems/interfaces)
Applications: Salesforce; SAP S4/HANA; in-house developments
Tools: MS Office; Jira, Confluence, SharePoint
Methods: Hands-on; Agile (SAFe); Prince2

About the technology
Core HR platform
SAP SuccessFactors is a cloud-based human experience management suite for managing employee data, HR processes and workforce experiences. Companies use it to centralize personnel information, automate approvals and give employees and managers self-service access. Its modules can support the employee lifecycle from recruitment and onboarding through performance, learning and succession.
Key modules
The suite can be implemented as a connected landscape or as selected modules for a specific business need.
- Employee Central for core HR data, organizational structures and workflows
- Recruiting and Onboarding for hiring processes and new-starter experiences
- Performance and Goals for reviews, objectives and talent processes
- Learning for training catalogs, assignments and compliance tracking
- Compensation, Succession and Workforce Analytics for planning and insight
Integration landscape
SAP SuccessFactors projects often depend on reliable data exchange with SAP S/4HANA, SAP ERP, payroll providers, identity services and local HR applications. Specialists work with SAP Integration Suite, Cloud Integration, APIs, OData, web services and file-based interfaces. They also handle data models, mappings, security roles and migration from legacy HR systems.
When specialists help
Companies bring in freelance expertise during a new implementation, module rollout, merger, redesign or recovery from a troubled project. External support is also useful when internal teams need help with integrations, release testing, data quality or complex configuration.
- Replace fragmented HR tools with a connected SuccessFactors landscape
- Prepare employee data and validate migration results
- Align workflows, permissions and approval rules with policy
- Improve adoption through role-based training and clear documentation
Strong professional profile
A strong SAP SuccessFactors professional combines configuration knowledge with an understanding of HR operations. They clarify requirements, challenge unnecessary customization and document decisions so the system remains maintainable. Experience with permissions, business rules, reporting, testing and release management is essential for dependable delivery.
Project delivery standards
Quality depends on more than a working configuration. The right specialist creates a practical design, protects sensitive employee data and tests integrations across realistic business scenarios. They communicate clearly with HR, payroll, IT and regional stakeholders, manage dependencies and leave behind usable documentation for the internal team.
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to SAP SuccessFactors.
SAP SuccessFactors is used to manage core HR data, recruiting, onboarding, performance, learning, compensation and workforce planning in the cloud. Companies can adopt individual modules or connect several areas into one employee lifecycle.
SAP SuccessFactors and Workday both provide cloud HR functionality across core HR and talent processes. The better choice depends on the existing enterprise landscape, integration requirements, regional needs, reporting model and the organization’s preference for SAP-based systems or a more self-contained suite.
A strong SAP SuccessFactors specialist often understands SAP S/4HANA, SAP Integration Suite, payroll interfaces, identity management and HR data migration. Useful supporting skills include OData, API design, reporting, role-based permissions, testing and change management.
SuccessFactors project needs vary by scope, module complexity and the quality of existing data. A focused configuration task may need a specialist familiar with one module, while a global rollout calls for someone who can handle integrations, governance, testing and regional process differences.
SAP SuccessFactors work can often be delivered remotely because configuration, workshops, documentation and testing are handled through shared systems. On-site collaboration may still help during discovery, stakeholder alignment, training or a sensitive go-live, depending on the company’s working model.
Ask a SuccessFactors freelancer to describe comparable module scopes, integration patterns and migration challenges they have handled. Review how they approach requirements, permissions, testing, documentation and handover rather than relying only on certification names.
SAP SuccessFactors implementations frequently connect Employee Central with Recruiting, Onboarding, Performance and Goals, Learning or Compensation. The right combination follows the company’s HR processes, data ownership, payroll setup and priorities for employee experience.
A careful SuccessFactors professional uses standard functionality where it meets the requirement and limits unnecessary customization. They maintain clear naming, role and rule documentation, test changes before releases, monitor integrations and make ownership understandable for the internal HR and IT teams.
The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used SAP SuccessFactors in their recent projects is 111 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 890 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers who have used SAP SuccessFactors in their recent projects, 80% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 49% hold at least a Master's degree, and 6% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers who have used SAP SuccessFactors in their recent projects have 21 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3 years.
The most common languages among freelancers who have used SAP SuccessFactors in their recent projects are German (99%), English (99%), and French (30%).
The most common industries among freelancers who have used SAP SuccessFactors in their recent projects are Professional Services (83%), Information Technology (76%), and Manufacturing (64%).
The most common business areas among freelancers who have used SAP SuccessFactors in their recent projects are Human Resources (86%), Project Management (81%), and Information Technology (61%).
