Turbo6man Lifetime Members 4,084 Member For: 22y 3m 11d Gender: Male Location: South Coast NSW Posted 13/05/05 03:13 AM Share Posted 13/05/05 03:13 AM I have an actuarial and I.T background (26 years experience), and currently run a small I.T consultancy of 5 people, plus have 2 business partners, one here and one in the U.K.Our clients are banks and Insurance companies, and we specialize in Insurance (primarily Life) software applications, database tuning/design, and modernization.Most banks and Insurance companies now run primary software that’s around 20 years old! After we tendered for and completed a Y2K project for Westpac, for another bank we developed software to convert an old mainframe system to UNIX and Win2K, to run in production on UNIX (AIX), and have utility software to convert non-relational databases to relational databases (e.g Oracle, DB2, SQL Server), as well as create middleware I/O software.We also converted all the old ‘3270’ screens to dynamic HTML.To give you a guide, the past software investment in that system converted was around $50 million, so not your average software. This may mean something to someone on this forum.If you have a legacy mainframe system or database that needs conversion, feel free to pm me.Brian<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ahhh Brian, your work and mine are very closely related ...
