• Experience in Enterprise archive or similar solutions.
• Knowledge and real experience in set-up, configuration and integration with one from two products:

o CMOD (IBM Content Manager OnDemand, IBM CM OnDemand)

o TSM (IBM Tivoli Storage Manager)

Start: 11st of August 2014

Location: Krakow (primary) and business trips to Singapore (for the person who will join first)

The main target of the project is to migrate to new platforms and refactor an existing Enterprise Archive Solution. This solution is using in a large Investment Bank for process and archive all artefacts according to security and regulatory rules.

It has a complex architecture based on Unix, Oracle, IBM CMOD (Content Manager OnDemand), IBM TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager), NetApp SnapLock and IBM WebSphere. The solution has 7 key components hosted on Unix and WebSphere, integrated with TSM, CMOD and SnapLock and using Oracle for storing meta data as a staging area.

There are several key milestones for this project:

• Two Senior Engineers travel to Singapore to communicate with consultants from IBM in order to get required knowledge about the solution and then migrate it. At the end POC and plans are provided by consultants together with offshore team, migration strategy and plans are developed and our new team is able to work on migration. After it engineers return/relocate to Krakow and more engineers and testers are joining the team.
• Once the PoC environment has been built and tested, the team installs, configures and tests the upgraded software packages on replacement development and test servers. It is also develop and test the plans and cutover and migration scripts for the production environment.
• Perform/assist with migration of the existing production environment and data.
