Creating work for contractors; Boomtime thanks to plenty cheapness

[Sysman]

Firstly, why the hell are they developing on a live system? To save money ?Secondly, they don’t need a ‘test coordinator’, they need a very experienced test manager who will tell clientco the truth as to what they will need to spend to sort out this mess. Turdly, they’re so obviously desperate that offering ‘competitive market rates’ isn’t going to be enough.

Let me guess.

• They outsourced the development, so didn't see the need for a separate development system
• They outsourced the testing, so didn't see the need for a separate test system

Am I getting close?

All the best in finding out who they are and quoting an appropriately punitive fee for sorting them out

Did the same people develop this site?

Pennies from heaven for someone here;

Test Co-Ordinator required – Oracle Supply-Chain – Netherlands – expenses paid

Blabla Agent is currently seeking an experienced Test Co-Ordinator to join an exciting
Oracle Supply-Chain Management project in the Netherlands.

Our client a leading end-user has a number of issues with their new Oracle EBS system and
consequently they have a need for an individual that can take control of the testing of
the “fixes” required.

This is not a hands-on testing role but more a co-ordination of the all parties involved
in the testing process (Oracle Apps Consultants, Testers and User Acceptance Testers). The
consultants are working on a live system; issues mean that the product isn’t going out
to market so it’s essential that these fixes are resolved as quickly as possible.

The requirements of the role are as follows;

-Proven track record of Co-Ordinating Testing within complex Oracle Apps projects
-Strong understanding of Oracle Supply-Chain
-Get things done mentality
-English speaking

The client is offering a 6-month contract with the option to extend; competitive market
rates and they will pay full expenses. The successful candidate would be joining a
hard-working and international team (excellent feedback from people onsite currently)

Now then, I think I can help them but the medicine might not taste very nice. Firstly, why the hell are they developing on a live system? To save money ?Secondly, they don’t need a ‘test coordinator’, they need a very experienced test manager who will tell clientco the truth as to what they will need to spend to sort out this mess. Turdly, they’re so obviously desperate that offering ‘competitive market rates’ isn’t going to be enough.

I’m trying to find out who the clientco is so I can approach them directly.
