This will be for both operational reporting as well as management reporting.

The expectations from the optimum candidate for this assignment would be:

• Dashboard layout, guided navigation, prompts, list of reports by dashboard
• High level test plan defining the functionality to validate for testing and validating the developed solution
• MUDE (Multi Development Environment) best practices, implementation plan, release management and deployment best practices

• Define, from their actual industry experience, and demonstrate the ‘out of the box’ reports they recommend as the most beneficial for the business to meet their objectives for each of the Procurement modules
• Mentoring and knowledge transfer to teams
