Hi James, More to consider -
Most businesses have legal holding requirements for at least some, perhaps a lot of customer data, business tax data, employee data, retirement data, and other benefits data. Harvesting and converting that data - along with the data dictionaries necessary to fully identify every field and where and how the value was calculated is not a trivial piece of work. At minimum, it will cost plenty. It may or may not be written into the vendor's proposal unless the customer lists and requires it. I hope that the business would also, at minimum, identify the cost of everything on the mainframe system, along with it its associated costs. After all, every single thing not included in the scope and details of work, is not included. Be sure to check out their 'every level' security as well.
