Gaming and entertainment operator scaling SAP-native digital transformation across 30 subsidiaries
MERKUR GROUP operates a diversified gaming and entertainment business across casinos, online gaming, and electronic gaming devices, with ~15,000 employees across 30 subsidiary companies. Their tech stack is deeply SAP-centric (SD, ECC, S/4HANA, BW, Datasphere, Analytics Cloud, Commerce Cloud) and they are actively migrating to cloud infrastructure (SAP Cloud Platform, Azure, SAP BTP). Current hiring is engineering-heavy, concentrated in mid-level roles, and focused on Germany, Malta, and Austria—a pattern that aligns with their multi-year S/4 transformation, data governance build-out, and group-wide digitalization initiatives.
MERKUR GROUP is a family-owned operator of casinos, online gaming platforms, and electronic gaming machines with a 65+ year operating history. The company maintains regional roots in Germany (headquartered in Espelkamp, North Rhine-Westphalia) while operating across Europe. Core business lines include the MERKUR Casino chain, online gaming, gaming machine distribution and manufacture, and electronic game development and retail. The organization runs as a federation of 30 operational subsidiaries, creating significant complexity in systems integration and data harmonization—challenges now addressed through group-wide digitalization, SAP cloud migration, and enterprise data governance projects.
SAP-dominant: SAP S/4HANA, ECC, SD, BW, Datasphere, Analytics Cloud, BTP, and Commerce Cloud. Cloud infrastructure via Azure, SAP Cloud Platform. Application layer uses C++, Python, Docker, Jenkins. Active adoption of SAP Commerce Cloud and Field Service Management.
