University hospital modernizing legacy ERP and clinical systems
Uniklinik Köln is a 10,000+-person academic medical center running a legacy SAP estate (ECC 6.0, Oracle on AIX) now migrating to S/4HANA and SAP HANA. The migration roadmap—combined with active projects in Citrix virtualization, communication modernization, and robotics-based screening—reflects a multi-year infrastructure overhaul aimed at unifying clinical documentation and research workflows. Mid-level hiring concentrated in research and engineering signals a capability gap being filled internally.
Uniklinik Köln is Germany's top-tier university hospital, operating 59 clinics and institutes across a 1,500-bed facility in Cologne since 1908. The organization balances clinical delivery with medical research and education, serving as one of the region's largest employers. Operationally, the hospital runs SAP ECC and Oracle databases alongside Citrix enterprise desktop infrastructure and Microsoft Teams Phone. Current transformation efforts center on replacing aging ERP systems, migrating to cloud-native SAP applications, and automating high-throughput screening for research.
