Consultant System Connectivity - Invoicing Integration to OpenText

project name:

Remap Project

project description:

The service is requested as part of the project Supplier Invoicing – Integration to OpenText. The project has the purpose to integrate several email channels into Henkel’s ERP systems in a secure, repeatable manner to the OpenText OCR solution that supports PTP and OTC processes. 

Background of the engagement of an external contractor is that he/she has appropriate and required skills and capabilities that are not available internally. In addition, the external contractor will provide services that are clearly distinguishable from the services internal employees are providing.

The project is working in an agile methodology. Sprint duration is two weeks so the Sprint meetings are conducted every next week. During this Sprint period daily stand-ups will be conducted to affiliate the compatibility of the complex service that will be delivered.

Any of the meetings and exchanges described above will take place exclusively in the presence of a Client’s single point of contact appointed by Henkel, who is coordinating the project on the Client's internal side. The coordination of the above described meetings, in which the external contractor is involved, will be organized and carried out by the contractor and will be agreed upon with Henkel.

The contractor receives access to the project management tool of choice, which will be chosen during the first Sprint. In addition, the contractor receives all contact information in advance by Henkel.
