Last position:
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
What Visual FoxPro is
Visual FoxPro is a data-centric programming language and desktop application platform from Microsoft. Formerly known as FoxPro and FoxBASE, it combines a relational database engine, procedural language, forms, reports and rapid application tools. Many business-critical systems still rely on it for dependable data processing.
What it builds
Visual FoxPro is used for line-of-business software where structured records, workflows and reporting matter. Common systems include stock control, sales administration, accounting support, production records, logistics tools and customer databases. Applications often run on Windows and support several departments through shared data.
- Maintain desktop applications and business workflows
- Extend forms, reports, menus and validation rules
- Repair data access, imports and exports
- Connect applications with SQL Server, APIs or file services
Ecosystem and skills
Strong professionals understand tables, indexes, views, cursors, forms, reports and the Visual FoxPro development environment. They work with DBF data, SQL commands, COM components, ActiveX controls and Windows integration where the system requires them. Useful adjacent knowledge includes SQL Server, data migration, version control, backup design and deployment scripting.
When companies need help
Companies often bring in freelance expertise when an internal specialist leaves, a long-running application becomes difficult to maintain, or a database needs careful repair. Support may involve undocumented business rules, broken reports, slow queries, data-quality problems or compatibility issues after a Windows change. In Germany, remote collaboration is common, while on-site workshops can help when processes and legacy infrastructure need close review.
Modernization paths
Replacing a mature system is not always the safest first step. A specialist can document the data model, separate business rules from the user interface, improve error handling and introduce tested interfaces around the existing application. Migration to SQL Server, a web front end or another language can then proceed in controlled stages without losing operational knowledge.
- Assess application structure and technical risk
- Stabilize data access and reporting
- Plan staged migration or integration
- Preserve business rules during change
What quality looks like
A capable professional reads legacy code carefully and asks how users actually depend on it. They protect production data, test edge cases, explain technical trade-offs and leave clear documentation. Look for practical experience with Visual FoxPro maintenance, database consistency, source control and a realistic plan for support, modernization or replacement.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Visual FoxPro.
Visual FoxPro is still used for business applications that manage structured data, forms, reports and operational workflows. Typical examples include inventory, order processing, accounting support, manufacturing records and customer databases. Companies often retain these systems because they contain important business rules and reliable historical data.
Visual FoxPro offers fast development for data-heavy desktop applications and has a compact, integrated toolset. Newer web and cloud technologies usually provide broader support for browser access, modern integrations and long-term vendor investment. The right choice depends on migration risk, user needs, existing data and the value of preserving current workflows.
A strong Visual FoxPro specialist often brings SQL Server, database migration and Windows integration skills. Knowledge of COM, ActiveX, APIs, file-based data exchange, reporting and backup practices is also useful. For modernization work, experience with web services, source control and staged replacement adds value.
A Visual FoxPro project needs enough experience to understand both the code and the business processes behind it. A small report change may need focused maintenance skills, while data repair, performance work or migration calls for a professional who can trace dependencies across the whole application. Ask for examples involving similar data structures and operational risks.
Visual FoxPro work is often suitable for remote collaboration when source code, test data and a secure access method are available. On-site sessions may still help with user interviews, undocumented workflows or old infrastructure that cannot be reproduced remotely. Agree on communication language, access controls, release procedures and support hours before work begins.
Before a Visual FoxPro specialist starts, create verified backups and define a safe test environment. Clarify which files are live, how users access them, which integrations exist and who approves changes. Production edits should be controlled, logged and tested against realistic copies of the data.
Good Visual FoxPro work is readable, testable and safe for the data it handles. The professional should explain dependencies, document changes, test reports and imports, and show how errors are handled. A clear handover and a rollback plan are strong signs of disciplined delivery.
Visual FoxPro knowledge is valuable during migration because the hardest part is often understanding hidden business rules and data relationships. A specialist can map tables, indexes, reports and workflows before recommending SQL Server, a web application or another target. This reduces the risk of moving data successfully while losing essential process logic.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Visual FoxPro in their recent projects is 105 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 837 € based on an 8-hour working day.
