(Copied from the CareerBuilder wanted ad for a contract position. I
find the following comment in the ad particularly intriguing: "in a
more reliable and modernized hosting environment".)

They're still running a VAX, I'm sure they're having plenty of *hardware* reliability problems. I think they should move to Itanium while they rewrite their applications. That will make it much easier when the application rewrite project fails.


Oracle Applications Architect

Description
Evaluate current legacy system and create a deliverables-based
inventory of the business functionality, data assets, user interfaces,
reports and business rules that must be migrated to a new system.

It is anticipated that approximately 80% of the legacy system design
that is currently hosted in a VAX/VMS 7.2, Oracle RDB, FMS, DCL,
DECFORMS, and COBOL platform will be transferred to a new platform
leveraging IBM AIX, Oracle Application Server, Oracle 10G database,
JAVA, and Oracle Forms. The remaining functionality will need to be re-
written to properly operate in the new platform.

Produce a work plan that identifies resources and provides an estimate
of the resource utilization that will be required to complete the
migration of the legacy capability to the new system. Develop an
application framework design for a new system that can accommodate all
legacy system functionality that is targeted for migration in a more
reliable and modernized hosting environment.

New framework design should provide implementation details for all
layers of the new application framework, such as, user interface
design and standards, business logic, database design, security,
hardware, software configuration and source code management.
Assist with the technical configuration and implementation of the off
the shelf Business Accounting Solution (BAS): A significant detailed
data migration and implementation plan will need to be developed and
executed. Looking for an application specialist to augment team to
serve as a SME for Oracle AS and 10G database and would perform the
Oracle Application Server configurations required to support the BAS
implementation. Also expected to assist with the interfacing of
existing financial systems and databases with the new BAS
