Description
Due to a contact to a very unserious candidate that made me loose now a whole month of time, here once again out seeking for a cobol to c conversion of our old progran that calculates payrollsGreetings
I am looking for a programmer (team) that rewrites our - already quite old (more than 10 years ) , but alway maintained & upgraded self written Cobol program that we use to calculate & print salary invoices & pay slips in C++, .net Framework or other modern language
Actually the program ist still 100% text based - we will need a simple (but very fast) windows based application
1) this is a quite big project - that´s why i posted it in the > 3000 usd category. So please -no 1-person developpers - you will not have the necessary time
2) This program will have a future - the firm or person that gets the job will get more work to do in the next time. one future interest is to get a "connection" to a billing program (that has to be written). So thinking already now to a "connection port" to this billing software would be a big asset
3) i am not interested in poker games or replika watches - but game programmers are welcome - as they are often very good programmmers (but do they still know what cobol is? - of course you also can reprogram the full application
4) this program must be easily updateable - best would be by cvs files
(salaries are indexed in Luxemburg - that means if the global house expenses climb of 2,5% the following month all salaries in Luxemburg are majored of 2,5% - also the social security percentage may vary from one year to another, the income tax may change from one year to another, same for unemployment taxes,.... - there must be a possibility to send to the other firms one file that corrects these values in a very easy way )
5) This program must be secured - the old one is actually used it 8 or 9 more firms, we want to sell the new version too - but we do not want to see it used in every second firm in Luxembourg - without getting some fees. The programmer team that gets the job will get a percentage of each sold copy
6) the program will be in 3 languages - you only need to program the english part - we will do the translation in German & French - but please consider an easy method to include those language files (best simply by using the database (this has to be MySQL, as we want - if possible, a program that runs afterwards under .net and under mono on linux,osx)
7) every one that proposes to realize this job must have an lyant rm Cobol installation - or something compatible (program was written with rmcobol 7)
8) Print output should be by pdf creation
9) the header of the print output must be easily self configurable - so that other firms can put their header in
10) for wednesday i will keep 3 propositions - those will get the complete source code and the application. After reception we do expect till next monday a precise idea how those firms want to realize the project - and the exact amount of money the project will cost. As i said - the choice of the programming language is yours - as long as it is a main programming language. There is NO NEED of a very sophisticated interface - it has to be clean, very rapid, usable either by mouse or my keyboard
To give you an idea what i mean: total commander is a good example - it is in fact the old norton commander program - you still can use the same keys to execute a function - but you also can do everything just with some mouse clicks
11) one firm ( or single developper) will be chosen
12 Payment will be either by getafreelancer service or by paypal -
13) payment will be
10% as soon as we get the first lines of code - or an example how the interface should be
30% on the first prototype (this one can still be incomplete, not all functions have already to be included
30% on delivering a final prototype
30% after 30 days - time where we can test your program and find eventual errors or thing that do not work (those have to be corrected
If within this period, WE should notice that we forgot to ask you for a function ( that has to be implanted) - the more of work will of course be paid separately
It is not necessary the cheapest solution we will choose - it will be the one that seems the most seriousness to us
We need the program urgently - so we prefer bigger developer groups that can finalize the job in best delays
If within the period of developing, we should notice that WE forgot one ore more points in the definition of the work to do - all EXTRA WORK will be paid by our side at your normal price
There will be immediately after this application come a second application even bigger - so consider this will get a long-term business relation
Thanks in advance,
Serge
