Project Background:

• The Workers Compensation Board (WCB) is carrying out a large-scale modernization of many core application systems. ITS is the WCB s information technology service provider and key partner in delivering enterprise-wide transformations. The modernization effort and associated software delivery will occur incrementally as part of the OnBoard program. The OnBoard program roadmap will consist of multiple, discrete projects, which will cumulatively result in the full implementation of a final WCB enterprise-wide software solution hosted on Azure, as well as the sunsetting of all legacy systems.
• The services in this solicitation pertain to Insurance Compliance (IC2), one of the WCB s mission-critical systems. IC2 was developed with a distributed architecture using PowerBuilder (PB) 10.5 for the front-end application, EAServer 5.5.0 a middleware transaction processing server leveraging Enterprise Application Framework (EAF) using CORBA calls, and SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise 16 for the database back-end.
• IC2 will not be carried over to the OnBoard system in the near term and must be upgraded and stabilized to run on supported technologies and platforms. This effort will consist of rewriting the EAF framework java classes that currently support the JSP-to-Jaguar calls (via CORBA) into C#, so that the recently upgraded IC2 web applications can call PowerBuilder components that are also utilized by the main IC2 application. ITS is seeking the assistance of a highly skilled consultant(s) with experience and proven success in the migration of legacy PowerBuilder / EAServer applications to Appeon PowerBuilder and a Microsoft based web service middleware.
