What sort of money are we talking ( for both jobs ) !? The data team and others are about to finish up here. I'll vet out the wasters for you

Day rates ...

Data Manager - £500
Architect - £600

Which tools aside from SAP are involved in the design? It sounds like an integration project so I'm thinking there might be file transfer and data mapping technologies in there somewhere.

£600 ! Just give me a few minutes to re-write my CV.....

I don't venture south of Warrington but there are a couple of bods here who could do the Data Manager job, I'll mention it to them. I suspect you'll have to vet out a few cowboys for the Architect job, not an easy job to to recruit for.

I'll do it. £40/day and a parking space for my rig?

Cool? See you on Monday.

Ta very much, vetting out the cowboys is always a problem!

Roots - are you *sure* you're in .Net?

Besides, Data Migration stinks. I've just finished a couple of years of eastern European and Russki migrations and it was the least enjoyable gig I've had. Postcodes? We don't need no stinkin' postcodes to pay our freakin vendors.

Rant over.

Edit: sorry WindyAnna - not doing your contract ad any favours...
