Data Manager Contract

[rootsnall]

I know exactly the one - cornerstone of any successful technical implementation!

Warrington, eh? Not far from my patch. Things are looking good at the mo so you can definitely push for 5.

The 'market' does seem pretty good at the moment. I'm a bit above Warrington and my last 2 jobs have been hourish/hour+ commutes to N.Wales and E.Manc, something closer would be nice. I'm due a rest so will be putting a big bounty on my head when I'm next looking. Just got an extension I wasn't that keen on but I'll cope ! You config ? Or new fangled ?

Windy - some initial interest but nobody begging for contact deets. Various guesses on the client, a bank, a phone Co !?

None of the above!

Roots - are you *sure* you're in SAP?

Eh !!! You mean .Net surely !

I'm a pleb techie ( by choice, the skill with 4 letters, you know the one ) and I haven't been on anywhere near 600 a day since Y2K days hence the . I think 500 has been attainable in the past 12 months but for that I'd have to go on the road. I'd want more than 600 for anything with ANY level of responsibility !

£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.

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...

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

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.

Loads of flavours of Unix (Solaris, HP-UX, Linux), Windows , Oracle, SQLserver, VMware, IBM MQ, Control M ...

[WindyAnna]

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

Cool? See you on Monday.

You're in!
