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
Core technology
Visual FoxPro is a Microsoft data-centric programming environment for building Windows business applications. It combines an object-oriented language, forms, reports and a relational database engine in one productive toolset. Teams often refer to it as VFP, Microsoft Visual FoxPro or simply FoxPro.
Business applications
Visual FoxPro is still found in inventory, order management, accounting, production, logistics and customer administration systems. Its data model and rapid form design suit specialized desktop software with complex workflows. Many companies rely on applications that support daily operations and cannot be replaced without careful planning.
Ecosystem and tooling
Work with Visual FoxPro often includes DBF tables, indexes, SQL commands, views, forms, reports and reusable class libraries. Strong specialists understand FoxPro data sessions, Rushmore optimization, COM components, ODBC connections and report generation. They may also work with Windows APIs, .NET services, REST endpoints and SQL Server during integration or modernization.
When expertise matters
Companies typically bring in freelance expertise when an internal specialist is unavailable, a critical application needs changes, or undocumented business rules must be recovered.
- Maintain and extend existing VFP applications
- Repair data, indexing and reporting issues
- Connect FoxPro systems to current databases and services
- Plan controlled migration without disrupting operations
Modernization paths
A Visual FoxPro system does not always need immediate replacement. A specialist can stabilize the application, separate business logic from the user interface, improve data access and introduce service integrations step by step. Depending on the case, the target may be SQL Server, a web application, a .NET solution or another Windows-based system.
For companies in Germany, remote collaboration is often practical when documentation, secure access and test data are organized. On-site work can help with complex installations, user workshops and handover to local teams.
What strong specialists bring
Quality depends on more than knowing the FoxPro syntax. Strong professionals read legacy code carefully, understand the business process behind each form and protect data integrity before changing it. They create backups, test reports and workflows, document dependencies and explain trade-offs clearly.
Look for experience with version control, deployment, database repair, Windows environments and integration boundaries. German-language communication can be valuable when the application supports local operations, while clear English remains useful for distributed teams and external systems.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Visual FoxPro.
Visual FoxPro is mainly used for desktop business applications that manage structured data and operational workflows. Typical systems cover inventory, orders, accounting, production, logistics and customer records, often with forms, reports and local or shared databases.
VFP is usually faster to change in an existing desktop codebase than to replace from scratch, especially when its business rules are deeply embedded in forms and reports. Modern web, .NET or cloud solutions offer broader deployment options, but migration requires careful discovery, data conversion and workflow testing.
A strong Microsoft Visual FoxPro specialist often understands DBF data, SQL, indexing, ODBC, COM, Windows deployment and reporting. Experience with SQL Server, .NET, REST services, version control and data migration is valuable when a legacy application must connect to newer systems.
The right level depends on the risk and scope, not simply on the codebase size. A small report change may need focused FoxPro knowledge, while a migration or data repair requires someone who can trace undocumented rules, protect production data and validate results with business users.
Visual FoxPro work can often be completed remotely if secure access, source code, representative data and a reliable test process are available. On-site collaboration in Germany may be useful for installations, workshops, sensitive environments or handover to teams that depend on the application every day.
FoxPro can remain a sensible short-term foundation when it supports essential workflows reliably and replacement would interrupt operations. Extension is most practical when the code and data are understood; replacement becomes more compelling when Windows dependencies, integration limits or maintenance risks block business changes.
Ask how the specialist approaches backups, database integrity, indexing, regression testing and undocumented business rules. A good Visual FoxPro professional can explain dependencies plainly, show a controlled change process and produce documentation that another specialist can use.
Visual FoxPro engagements may deliver corrected forms, reports, queries, data repairs, integrations, deployment packages or a migration plan. Agree in advance on source control, test cases, documentation, rollback procedures and knowledge transfer so the result remains maintainable after the engagement.
