  • Regular contact with users and the client's specialists
  • Approval, return and rework procedures set up under the corporate rules
  • Supporting documents maintained: data sheets, drawings and more
  • Work in SAP MDG over Citrix under the client's access and security policy

Approach and methodology

How we check each request

  • Checks for completeness, correctness and consistency

  • Compliance with the applicable standards and the client's internal rules
