SAP-native business services center for EMEA operations
Lapp Business Services is a shared-services operation within Lapp Group, handling finance, accounting, sales operations, and IT for the EMEA region. The tech stack is deeply SAP-centric (S/4HANA, NetWeaver, SD, MM, BW) with VMware virtualization and Microsoft 365, reflecting a traditional enterprise infrastructure. Active projects center on SAP modernization (S/4 upgrade, Fiori rollout) and process standardization, while pain points cluster around order-to-cash efficiency and IT service management—signaling an organization in mid-transformation, moving from fragmented legacy systems toward integrated workflows.
Lapp Business Services operates as the business operations hub for Lapp Group's EMEA footprint, delivering finance, accounting, sales operations, and IT support to parent-company entities across the region. Based in Wroclaw, Poland, the team is structured around finance (4 staff), engineering/IT infrastructure (5 staff), operations (3 staff), product/process improvement (2 staff), with smaller sales and support functions. The organization is executing a multi-year SAP modernization roadmap—migrating to S/4HANA, rolling out Fiori, and upgrading core modules (SD, MM)—while simultaneously driving process standardization and automation in IT service management. The hiring mix tilts toward mid- and senior-level technical and operational roles, reflecting execution maturity rather than startup-phase growth.
S/4HANA, NetWeaver, SD (Sales & Distribution), MM (Materials Management), BW (Business Warehouse), ECC, and Fiori (UI layer). Currently rolling out S/4 upgrades and Fiori deployment across EMEA operations.
VMware-based virtualization (vSphere, ESXi, vCenter, Hyper-V), Linux/Red Hat systems, SQL databases, and Microsoft 365. ITIL and service management standardization are active initiatives.
