Initial Estimate guideline for a straight green-screen Axiant migration

[VISSERS,WILBERT (HP-NewZealand,ex1)]

Thanks Blue, Mark, Jon,  

Have spoken to our Customer and PH8.41 and Eloquence is now a base-line
option if the business decision is 'go the minimum cost option'.  Thanks
that was good.

The IT Manager wants the migration to go to the platform that allows modern
stuff to evolve best, because he expects that the percentage of people
seeing the value of Windows/Gui/Web will grow soon.  We need to be in best
position to respond.  Also the competitor option is all new stuff.

Decision on the database is down the track a bit, either SQL Server for
perhaps ease of future integration with Microsoft-written apps which the
customer has, or Oracle for robustness.  or Eloquence.  See the future of
the application as evolving into a mix of Competitive-advantage, local
efficiency modules,  interfacing with standard ERP modules.   Current app is
well-designed and modular so this looks feasible.

Need that ballpark guidance on Axiant's automated conversion tools.  All we
have to compare with so far is migration projects done in other technologies
'by hand', and PH conversions where significant proportion of the project
was spent writing home-grown code-altering utilities. 

cheers
