? What exactly does this “manage the invoice & volume verification process for dedicated service areas in daily business” include as a task? What are the subtasks associated with “management”? Please elaborate. Please note: the term “daily business” implies that you require this external for a long period of time as they will be an essential part and integral to the internal team which cannot be mapped within a T&M contract. Time & Material assignments are for shorter time, project-based assignments.

– Work closely** with our stakeholders to ensure*** steer for? a mutual understanding of relevant data and support*** with consumption analysis for infrastructure services.

**: Are the stakeholders internal or external? If external, this is okay, if internal -? Please note: a close collaboration/alignment with internal employees prevents the independent way of working which is a prerequisite for a service contract (T&M).

***Please note: expressions such as “fulfill” “deliver” “assure” “ensure” “make sure” “successfully” give the impression that the consultant owes a success which cannot be mapped in a T&M contract.
