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
Legacy business systems Visual FoxPro is used for long-running business applications that still carry critical daily work. It fits data entry, reporting, record management, and custom desktop tools where proven logic matters more than a full rebuild.
What strong experts handle Strong Visual FoxPro specialists understand forms, reports, cursors, SQL pass-through, and file-based data structures. They can read older code, trace business rules, and keep Microsoft Visual FoxPro solutions working with modern Windows environments.
Common project needs
- Bug fixing in existing FoxPro and VFP applications
- Cleanup of old data access and reporting logic
- Interface work with SQL Server, ODBC, or other systems
- Migration planning to newer stacks without losing business rules
- Support for release, packaging, and runtime issues
Ecosystem and tools Visual FoxPro work often touches DBF tables, native SQL, forms, class libraries, and report designer assets. Specialists may also work with COM components, OLE automation, and integration layers that connect legacy desktop software to newer services.
When companies bring in freelance help Companies usually look for freelance help when the original team is gone, the code base is fragile, or a deadline makes a rewrite unrealistic. In Germany, this often matters for internal tools, distribution systems, and office software that must stay available while change is kept low-risk.
What good collaboration looks like
- Clear code reading and careful change notes
- Practical testing in the real application flow
- Attention to compatibility across Windows setups
- Ability to document hidden business rules for handover
A strong expert communicates in plain language, works methodically, and knows where to modernize and where to leave stable logic alone. That balance is often what keeps a Visual FoxPro system useful while the business plans its next step.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Visual FoxPro.
Visual FoxPro is used for business applications that manage records, forms, reports, and local or shared data. Many systems still run core office, logistics, and administrative workflows on it because the logic is already deeply embedded in the application.
Visual FoxPro is the full Microsoft product name, while FoxPro and VFP are the common short forms people use when searching for the same ecosystem. In practice, companies often use those names to describe older desktop applications built on the Visual FoxPro code base.
Visual FoxPro is older and less common than current .NET or web stacks, but it can still be the best choice for maintaining a stable legacy system. The usual decision is not about feature parity; it is about whether to keep, extend, or migrate software that already supports key business processes.
A strong Visual FoxPro specialist usually also understands SQL, database design, Windows desktop behavior, and data migration. Knowledge of ODBC, COM, and integration with systems like SQL Server is often useful when the application has to connect to newer tools.
A good Visual FoxPro freelancer needs access to the current code, the data structure, and a few real business scenarios. The more hidden logic the system contains, the more useful it is to have sample records, error logs, and clear examples of what should happen.
Yes, Visual FoxPro work is often done remotely because most tasks involve code review, debugging, and data logic rather than physical hardware. On-site time can still help when the system runs in a sensitive office setup or when users need close support during release and testing.
A strong Visual FoxPro professional explains old code clearly, identifies risk before changing it, and leaves the system more understandable than before. Look for careful debugging, clean documentation, and a practical plan for maintenance or migration rather than broad promises.
Keeping Visual FoxPro can make sense when the software is stable, the business rules are complex, and a rewrite would carry more risk than value. Maintenance is often the right choice when the goal is to preserve a working system while improving only the parts that create daily problems.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Visual FoxPro in their recent projects is 106 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 847 € based on an 8-hour working day.
