To earn this credential, the holder has:

• Completed the full ILM Consultant Onboarding curriculum in Basware Knowledge Network. The path is a journey through Basware ILM offering, every component, and the end-to-end invoice lifecycle.
• Worked through the guided simulations in the Basware training simulator and delivered a fully configured, end-to-end tenant that meets the program's validation criteria.
• Cleared every assessment gate along the way: embedded knowledge checks inside the courses, and the validation milestones at the end of each guided exercise.
• Finished inside the cohort window assigned by Basware.

On completion, the holder can:

• Tell the Basware ILM story. Explain what Invoice Lifecycle Management is, what sits inside the Basware ILM platform, and the value it unlocks for finance, AP, procurement, and IT — as one connected system, not a feature checklist.
• Move through the platform with confidence. Navigate the core modules fluently, find the configuration surfaces that matter, and use the right vocabulary with customers, colleagues, and product specialists.
• Configure ILM to a brief. Take a business case and turn it into working configuration: tenant setup, master data, suppliers and channels, capture and validation, coding and matching, approval workflows, exception handling, integration touchpoints. Then prove it works.
• Think in lifecycles, not screens. Reason about every configuration choice in context — knowing that decisions made at supplier onboarding and master data will show up later in matching, approvals, posting, and archive.
• Operate as a credible ILM consultant. Do the hands-on work expected on a real Basware or partner engagement without step-by-step supervision. And — equally important — know exactly when to bring in a specialist.
