c) 1995 to 2003
List the main outputs of the position below:
1. Foskor paid my studies, so I had to start my career there. They were using a Cobol in-
house written system, running on ICL. I was mostly involved in maintenance and small
system enhancements; Cobol was one of my main subjects, so I could start straight
away. At this stage my supervisor gave the system changes that was needed to me,
and gave me assistance
2. I also start writing interface programs where I did the feasibility on, after the JAD
sessions were done.
3. There were a few managersthat used Lotus 123 for their monthly reports. I started
rewriting those in DBASE and the interfaces between ICL and my DBASE systems
4. The big change happened in 1993 when there was decided the re-write the whole Cobol
system in Powerhous – Core as well asnon-core. The ICL was replaced with a VAX
machine with VMS as operating system and Interbase as database. I also received
training in that.

while still maintaining the Cobol system
6. With the start of the re-writing, I wastrained to use Infomet Methodology to do the data
population that had to be transferred from the Cobol system to the Powerhouse system
7. The systems I was given included the Personnel Distribution that linked to external
entities like the municipality, ABSA bank, Mine clubs and the Payroll system, so that all
these deductions was done in the Payroll system. I did the JAD sessions, feasibility
studies, analysis, GAP analysis, contact with internal and external parties,
development, testing, training and implementations of these systems / interfaces. I also
did the interface / integration between the Payroll system and the General Ledger and
Personnel Debtors systems on the VAX system (Powerhouse).
8. Smaller systems that had to be developed as well includes the housing system, safety
system with ISO requirements, Loan system, Cashbook system, Authorisation system
Menu system administration for core integrated systems. With these systems I was
also responsible from JAD sessions up to analysis, development, testing, training and
implementation. All of these included Input and Enquiry screens, data processing,
reports and interfaces.
9. I did the Transportations module for the Procurement system that interfaced with the
Creditors and General Ledger subsystems. It involved the analysis, development,
testing and implementation. No user training wasneeded, it was an automated
process, so my user was the Financial Manager that was involved when I did the
analysis.
7. 10. I did maintenance and fault detection on the following systems: Core financial system,
total system integration between Core Financial systems and subsystems, Procurement
system – including inventory control and movement, issuing, receiving, COD receiving,
tenders and the mining projects.
11. I was mostly involved in analysis, development and data fixing with the assistance of
the BA’s of the different modules.
12. I did 2 internal data audits, using data extracts done in Powerhouse, and excel.
13. I did 1 external data audit with KPMG by providing them with system data via data
extracts from the Powerhouse system
14. In 1999 the team started with the migration to JDEdwards, where I wasthe Business
Analyst for Procurement and the financial side of the Payroll system with integration
with the General Ledger and Personnel Debtors subsystem. It involved JAD sessions
with Managers and key users and GAP analysis at first, and later on development for
user requirement, testing, training and implementation.
