Job Description:

DHS primarily has two environments: Legacy Cobol/CICS/IDMS/VSAM systems and client server/Web .NET systems. Most systems are centralized but there are distributed systems as well that are used in field offices and DHS owned and operated facilities. Many systems are home grown while some systems use third-party applications. The individual will Work with the business team to understand the business need and how the current code correlates to the same, document the system and 'to-be' status of what would be needed for the system to be rewritten in a client server distributed environment. DHS also has the need to operate, maintain and enhance current legacy systems while the distributed systems are being prepped for take over of the programs. This many times requires building bridges between legacy and work-in-progress distributed systems.

• Understanding, analyzing and documenting current Mainframe logic and flows and work with the users and business teams to correlate the same with how the systems support the current business, Federal and State requirements.
• Create detailed documentation of system analysis that would become the basis for a system rewrite into client server .Net environment.
• Must complete assigned task; communicate accurate and useful status updates; follow quality standards; Ability to work in a team environment; strong communication skills; both written and spoken.
• Attention to details is a must since the documentation generated would be the basis of system rewrites.
