Microsoft SQL Server. Data platform or Business Intelligence. I'm very much a specialist though so tend to work on shorter term gigs that pay higher rates / emergencies where C# developers didn't validate their input and someone entered "suityou01;Drop Database Salaries" in the LastName box on a form.....Originally posted by suityou01 View PostWell I'm looking for Microsoft development work, C#, Asp.net etc etc. My specialism is OpenText MBPM (formerly Metastorm).

Stock market volatility is most likely behind this uncertain period. It keeps swinging a few % in either direction causing the Financial Controllers
