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.  

HTH,

Linda
