Tasks and activities:
Overall responsibility for designing, building, and implementing a company-wide cloud governance structure (Azure), including target picture, roadmap, and operating model.
Managing internal and external stakeholders (C-level, IT, Security, Compliance, Cloud Architecture, DevOps), including decision and escalation management.
Planning and facilitating workshops on cloud strategy, governance principles, and the design of areas such as identity, connectivity, and platform management.
Defining, implementing, and rolling out cloud policies (Azure Policy / custom policies), security standards, and compliance requirements (including GDPR, ISO 27001, BSI C5).
Building a cloud governance framework based on the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), including landing zone and guardrail concepts.
Introducing automation solutions for governance, security, and cost control (policy/control automation, IaC, CI/CD-based control mechanisms).

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
SCSI systems
SCSI, short for Small Computer System Interface, is a long-used standard for connecting disks, tape drives, scanners, and other hardware to servers and storage systems. It still matters in environments where stable legacy access, hardware compatibility, or tape-based backup workflows are in place.
Where it is used
- Server storage with SCSI disks or RAID controllers
- Tape backup and archive systems
- Industrial and lab equipment with older device chains
- Maintenance of legacy Unix, Linux, and enterprise servers
Many companies in Germany still run mixed estates with older storage layers beside newer systems. In those cases, SCSI specialists help keep critical hardware readable and supported while migration plans are prepared.
Related ecosystem
A strong SCSI professional understands controllers, termination, cables, IDs, LUN mapping, and firmware differences across vendors. The work often overlaps with SAS, Fibre Channel, SATA, RAID, and storage management tools.
- Device discovery and troubleshooting
- Backup and restore integration
- Storage migration planning
- Driver and firmware checks
When to bring in help
Companies usually need freelance expertise when a server no longer sees a drive, a tape library needs support, or old storage must be moved without data loss. SCSI work also comes up during hardware refreshes, disaster recovery checks, and documentation of aging infrastructure.
What strong specialists do
Good SCSI experts diagnose at the bus, controller, firmware, and operating system levels. They know how to isolate cable faults, conflicting IDs, bad termination, and compatibility issues without guessing.
They also leave clear handover notes, which is valuable for on-site teams in Germany and for remote support across distributed infrastructure. That mix of hands-on diagnosis and clean documentation is often what separates a solid specialist from a basic generalist.
Choosing the right expert
Look for practical experience with the exact hardware in your environment, not just broad storage knowledge. Strong candidates can explain how they have handled SCSI chains, tape devices, and legacy migration work, and they ask precise questions before touching production systems.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about SCSI, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
SCSI is mainly used for storage and device connections in older or long-lived server environments. It shows up in disk arrays, tape backup systems, and specialist hardware where reliable low-level access still matters. In many cases, the work is about keeping legacy systems stable while planning a move to newer storage.
SCSI is the older family many teams still meet through legacy hardware and software stacks. SAS is the newer serial successor for many enterprise storage setups, while SATA is more common for general-purpose disks. A good specialist knows when a SCSI issue is really a controller, cabling, or compatibility problem instead of a pure disk failure.
A strong SCSI specialist usually understands RAID, storage controllers, firmware, Linux or Unix administration, and backup tools. Knowledge of SAS, Fibre Channel, and tape libraries is also useful because these areas often overlap in the same environment. Clear troubleshooting habits matter as much as product knowledge.
A SCSI project often needs someone who has worked on real hardware, not just read documentation. If you are dealing with production storage, tape archives, or a migration from an old server, choose a specialist who can show hands-on diagnosis and recovery work. Simple inventory tasks need less depth than fault isolation or data-preservation work.
Yes, many SCSI tasks can be handled remotely if the server still boots and someone on site can check cables, LEDs, or device seating. Remote support is effective for log review, driver checks, and recovery planning. Physical faults in a tape unit or backplane usually need local access.
Companies in Germany often bring in SCSI help during hardware refreshes, backup failures, and legacy migration projects. It is also common when older industrial or laboratory systems must stay online and the internal team lacks recent experience with the device chain. Remote collaboration is common, but on-site checks can be useful for physical diagnostics.
A good SCSI expert asks about the exact controller, bus layout, termination, firmware, and operating system before suggesting changes. They can explain the likely failure path in plain language and avoid risky guesswork on live systems. Clear notes, careful testing, and a methodical approach are strong signs of quality.
Yes, SCSI is still relevant in many tape backup and archive setups, especially where older libraries and drives remain in service. The key need is often compatibility and safe operation rather than new feature work. Specialists who know SCSI tape behavior can help keep archives readable and support migration to newer backup stacks.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used SCSI in their recent projects is 104 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 834 € based on an 8-hour working day.
