Here's the relevant text, edited a bit to "sanitize":
Senior Systems Analyst
The Real-time Holdings (GDS) team has an open position for a dynamic individual
who is interested in joining our team. The candidate will support the Trust Bank
Reporting (TBR) application, as well as learning other applications supported by
the GDS team, to include the GDS application, PCA, Oscar, and Fidelity Sweep.
The candidate will support TBR... Components of TBR have been developed on the
DEC VAX and the IBM mainframe. The VAX platform will be sunset in the future,
requiring the remaining components and processes for TBR to be re-engineered on
the mainframe platform. To achieve the goal of porting the remaining components
of the application to a new platform, the role of the candidate will require
strong analysis and programming skills and full understanding of the components
on the current platform, to be able to contribute to the development on the new
platform. Additional responsibilities include production support on the current
and new system platforms.
no it does not ... this company obviously was brainwashed by IBM as
they never
went to alpha or itanium but are keeping IBM ... the vms port would be
a lot easier
if they just went to alpha or itanium, but they do not know what they
are doing and
have chosen to listen to outside sales people like many companies ...
for almost 40 years. So they could gave ported to Alpha, but not Itanium.
Unlike Digital, IBM does not ignore their customers.
