This is a 3 month contract (urgent start - potential for extension if necessary), to assess the current MFT environment and produce a report detailing pro's and con's of continuing to build upon / improve current systems, vs purchase a COTS system and assessing pro's and con's of each product. Whilst we're expecting that suitable candidates will have a technical background, this is more of an Analyst / Architect role (at least for this phase of the project).
