Sanmina - SCI, Irvine, Project Manager
He joined this company to enhance the local knowledge of the core COPICS systems that were in use at the time, written in COBOL
with CICS and IMS/DB. His first role was to develop and test applications using COBOL programs used by Shadow Direct
middleware to obtain data from the IMS/DB hierarchical databases on the mainframe. This was later replaced by the Cross Access
system.
He was chosen to be the project manager in order to implement the core SCI systems in three new factory acquisitions in
Camberley, Greenock and Haukipudas, Finland. The project was planned using MS Project. All these ex-Nokia plants were using a
variety of systems, and were converted over to the COBOL based COPICS systems, firstly on a test basis, then running the
conversion in production. CA-Endevor was also added to the development cycle during this period. This was a huge team effort
involving both the SCI teams in Scotland and USA, as well as the staff of the facility that was being taken over, in all, up to thirty
people involved in the project somewhere in the world. This project was completed to tight schedules with no major problems.
At the same time, he assisted in developing and testing a UNIX based DB2 data warehouse using data held on both Oracle and IMS
DB platforms. In addition to his COBOL support duties, he also wrote and tested server-based software on the NT Servers,
including Excel and Visual Basic programs, using databases on SQL/2000 servers. In addition, he also learnt the WebPlan MRP
simulation package, and was the European Project Manager in the transition from the 5.2 to the 7.1 versions of the system, again
completed to the agreed schedule.
October 1998 – March 2000.
Royal & Sun Alliance, Halifax, Team Leader
His task was to work from the existing business specification to create a new and Year 2000 compliant Claims and Engineering
system. He initially created program specifications and later coordinated the program coding and test plans with three or four other
programmer / analysts, and this was followed through to a full implementation and also post-implementation support. There was also
extensive work done alongside the end-users, both in terms of defining the milestones and deliverables as well as talking through
and finding solutions to day-to-day challenges. This system was written in COBOL, with the use of CICS and IMS/DB databases.
April 1998 – October 1998
Boots Healthcare International, Nottingham, Software Interface Consultant
His task was to provide IBM Mainframe support to the team responsible for creating the customer database for the new SAP R/3
system. This was achieved using Easytrieve Plus to extract the data from the existing IMS databases on the mainframe, to an MS-
ACCESS database. He then wrote Visual Basic programs to extract the data from ACCESS to provide the data in the required for
the SAP load program to work correctly.
October 1997 - March 1998
Lloyds Bowmaker, Edinburgh, Team Leader
His first task was to create a new set of extracts from the existing core system data to enable information to be supplied to third
parties that support the Credit Tracking Systems, written in Cobol/2. Later, he worked on the analysis and programming of the Year
2000 Project, to enable the existing systems to continue running correctly with dates after the year 2000, and led a team of four
programmers.
August 1997 - October 1997
Scottish Equitable, Edinburgh, Senior Analyst
He worked on the data analysis of the Year 2000 Project, to help create reports to management regarding the amount of work
required to bring the existing systems up to the required compliance standard. This was done in liaison with the existing staff and
data models, and the reports were presented to senior IT Management.

4. Paul Robert Gregory
August 1996 - August 1997
Perot Systems Europe, Nottingham, Team Leader
Perot Systems are the FM Organisation that runs the IT systems for East Midlands Electricity plc. He initially created a new work
planning and reporting system under MS-ACCESS for Windows.
He created, programmed and implemented the changes required for creating the Special Needs Register required by EME's
regulator, leading a team of four people to compete this work, working in Cobol/2 and DL/1.
Next, he created the feasibility study and Project Definition for an implementation of a system to manage ADDACS and AUDDIS
information to and from BACS using the existing IBM and UNIX systems using PC interfaces to gather and collect data. This
involved negotiations with hardware suppliers and specifying changes to existing systems in readiness for the programming phase of
the project.
EME made a management decision to change banks from Midland to National Westminster, and he wrote a new suite of programs
to change over from Connect/Direct software of Midland to BankLink from National Westminster. This again involved the co-
ordination of three programmers working on the project.
With the event of deregulation, several data migration issues were arising, and he worked as a support analyst / programmer to
program the queries required of data from EME’s IMS Databases and present the analysed data to the users.
November 1995 - July 1996
Asda Stores Ltd., Leeds, Senior Analyst/Programmer
He worked on the development of DB2 Extracts from the Databases on the IBM Mainframe to Lotus Spreadsheets, using IBM’s

August 1995 - October 1995.
Standard Life, Edinburgh, Team Leader
He worked on the development of a system to download data interactively from the IBM Mainframe systems to systems being written
on PC based systems. This work was done using COBOL/2, IMS DB, DB2, Micro Focus COBOL Workbench, and XDB, working
with two junior programmers.
January 1995 - August 1995.
American Express, Brighton, Senior Analyst/Programmer
He worked assisting the set up of the test environment for a UNIX designed front-end system to 'screen-scrape' data from the
existing CICS systems. This was done using COBOL/2, DL/I, EASYTRIEVE, DIRECTOR, DATAVANTAGE, and MVS JCL using
an Amdahl mainframe.
March 1994 - January 1995.
Scottish Mutual Assurance, Programmer/Analyst
He spent the first month working on the technical design, programming and testing of the receipt of ADDACS information from
BACS plc. This system records changes to Direct Debit Information for monies coming to the company from their clients, including
the spread of single payments across a range of policies. The computer used was an IBM 3090, running under MVS using COBOL,
CICS, and VSAM.
He spent the last five months of the contract using the Micro Focus Dialog and Cobol Workbench to design and build a new
Quotations system to be downloaded to Laptop and Think-pad computer systems for use by Salesmen in the course of their
business for Scottish Mutual. This also involved leading a team of four programmers in his section, and co-ordinating the work done
in conjunction with the work being carried out by a separate team involved with creating specific calculation programs.
June 1993 - March 1994.
EDS SCICON Ltd, Project manager
He worked on enhancements to the Student Loans management system. He picked up and turned around a political situation where
the customer was unaware that no support / error logs were being resolved. This resulted in much improved relations between EDS
and the customer. He was involved in creating and documenting changes to the Loan Creation Sub-system, as well as creating new
rules to control the tracking of Direct Debit Mandates. This work required both technical skills and User contact, and thorough
Quality Control standards to be adhered to. He led a team of up to four people to complete this work. The computer used was the
EDS SCICON IBM 3090 at Stockley Park running under MVS using COBOL, CICS, and VSAM.
December 1992 - March 1993.
BACG, Leeds, Programmer/Analyst
Working on enhancements to their Distribution Control System prior to the implementation at one of their client’s sites in the South of

5. Paul Robert Gregory
work with IBM Mainframe (30XX & 43XX) clients using MVS (And MVS/XA and MVS/ESA), VM, and DOS/VSE Operating System
Environments.
His IBM skills gave him the major advantage that he was able to talk in technical terms as well as business terms to his clients, as
well as being able to discuss at the same level as his applicants, thus making some very good matches for the vacancies available.
He made significant use of the bespoke recruitment management system running on the in-house Alpha Micro AM-3000, later
working on Database Administration of the 3GB Database.
October 1990 - December 1991.
Freelance Sound Engineer.
He worked as a Freelance Sound Engineer/Producer for various Bands and Pubic Address System companies.

systems that varied from 2 Kilowatts up to 85 Kilowatts, and the various lighting/projector systems required for these shows, all done
to very tight budget and time schedules.
May 1988 - October 1990.
British Aerospace Plc, Senior Consultant / Business Analyst / Project Manager
This contract was working on major enhancements to the new Group Engineering Standards system, based in a team at the
Weybridge/Farnborough sites, although occasional visits to the user sites in Manchester, Preston, and Chester were required.
The initial contract was for one year, with three, six-month renewals offered by the client.
The system was mainly on-line, which required both business, database and programming restructure work. He was responsible for
generating database changes, and for the creation and amendment of PSB's and DBD's used in the new release of the system, and
was the only person allowed to undertake such work outside of the Technical Support Group.
He also worked extensively on the major batch interfaces. The first of these interfaces was to down-load design data from the design
system, from which the Engineering system, using CICS and DL/1, created the shop-floor and purchasing processes required to
build up the structure of the aircraft that had been ordered by Aerospace's client. The other main interface was to take completed
processes and download them to the shop floor and other factory management systems.
The Site visits were mainly to discuss new business aspects and amendments to the existing system directly with the users, thus
allowing him to see first hand what the effects of the changes would be from the user's point of view.
January 1988 - April 1988
Sony (UK.) Ltd, Programmer/Analyst
This contract was arranged for four months, in which time he was working on a batch Procurement System. It was a good
opportunity to refresh his DL/1 IBM skills, which he had not used since his days at CMG.
March 1987 - December 1987
Philips Electronics I.S.A. Ltd, Programming Consultant
He was originally contracted for a three-month contract, which was renewed twice until the 1987 Christmas Holiday break.
He was involved in the creation of the new Forwarding Import and Export systems, being written to conform to the new Common
Market regulations concerning the import and export of goods.
He was responsible for creating and maintaining the Base Tables Sub-system, which included creating new entities via
DataManager, and generation of new PSBs and DBDs as required.
This system actually featured in a video release by HM. Customs and Excise concerning the creation of the new S.A.D. (Single
Administrative Document) that has now replaced the mountain of forms that were previously required.
July 1986 - March 1987.
B.A.S.F. (UK) Ltd., Project Manager
He was responsible for installing packages required by Head Office to assess the true value and basic accounting procedures of a
newly acquired chemical plant in Middlesborough.
The accounting system was developed by the parent company in Germany, and was a basic Nominal Ledger system.
The other package was bought within the UK, and was for Asset Control and Evaluation. Unfortunately, the company that marketed
and supported this system went into liquidation half way through the implementation, but the project was completed on time, and to
budget.
September 1985 - June 1986.
CMG City of London Ltd., Programmer/Analyst, Consultant
He initially joined a team working on a major project to develop a Motor Insurance system in Croydon. However, a month after joining
the team, the client decided to change the machine to be used from an IBM to a WANG, which meant a total re-design of the
system.
He was moved to another system written for Names Agencies for Lloyd's Insurance Syndicates, for which major amendments and a
new system to deal with Names' Investments had to be written on the client's IBM System/34, extending on the small amount of
RPG II experience that he had gained when he was at Ranco.
March 1985 - August 1985.
Hallrite Computer Services Ltd., Project Manager
Hallrite was an offshoot of the old Redman Heenan Organisation, being run by its ex-Managing Director. He had negotiated rights to
the systems written in-house by the old company, and was in need of assistance to bring the systems up to date, both with new
prospective User Requirements and with the new Releases of CICS and DL/1 that were now available.
His first task was on the Purchase Ordering system, which took six months to complete and install, and was performed using the
machine and facilities of Hallrite's client, British Midland Airways, at Castle Donnington, near Derby. This involved programming and
database changes, and required totally re-creating the databases from scratch, and to ensure that the system was acceptable to the
British Civil Aviation Authority, who monitored Airline Supply Chain activity.

6. Paul Robert Gregory
His second and final task was to adapt an existing on-line print program within CICS to run using an ASCII printer and protocol
converter. This made use of skills he had picked up designing the clocking systems at Ranco.
March 1983 - March 1985.
Ranco Controls Ltd., Project Manager / Programmer/Analyst
Initially, he was involved in making major modifications to COPICS Packages that he had worked on at Heenans. In addition, due to
his previous experience in Structured Programming Techniques, he was also responsible for COBOL Programming Standards, in
what had previously been an RPG II site that had only recently started using COBOL as the major development tool. In addition, he
was responsible for creating new DBD's and PCB's to support the changes that were required.
When the COPICS development changes had been completed, his next project was to assist the System Programmer to merge the
existing ICCF Development System to the new VM/CMS system. This involved creation of Source Libraries (As these had always
been held in ICCF), creating common compile submit routines, and CMS Macros running in disconnected CMS systems to retrieve
and catalogue these Source and Object Modules.
His last project at Ranco was to create a new front-end data collection system for the validation of pay-roll data for the Hourly and
Weekly paid employees of the company. It was decided that DL/1 was not required for this system, and settled for CICS, COBOL,
and VSAM, as this would make it easier for certain elements of the existing system, written in RPG II, to be enhanced for use in the
new software release. Data was collected from both IBM and non-IBM electronic time clocks, which were attached to the Mainframe
using a Protocol Converter. Validation performed matched the clockings of each employee against the company's agreed shift
patterns to calculate lateness, overtime, etc. A new interface was also written in this release allowing the data entry and maintenance
of Statutory Sick Pay information. The last stage of this system created data files and job streams for transmission, using the VM
Remote Spooling Control System, to a remote IBM system where the Payroll was actually processed, and also to receive the
printouts from the Payroll for printing locally in Plymouth.
July 1978 - August 1982
Redman Heenan Computer Services Ltd., D.P. Trainee, Programmer/Analyst, Systems
Support / Project Manager
Initially, he learnt to operate the Honeywell 125 machine, graduating up to the IBM 370/138 when it was installed. After a year in the
Operations Department, he was transferred to the Development Department, where he started to learn COBOL and DL/1 for batch
programming use. He was soon responsible for all maintenance work on the Honeywell machine, which was finally phased out in
1980. During this period, the main programming team was working on a new CICS/COBOL/DL/1 based system for Purchase
Ordering, in which his role was to write most of the programs that provided the over-night batch support to the system, as well as the
programs that provided the initial load to the system from the out-dated system that was being removed from the Honeywell.
When the system was ready to be implemented, he transferred to the Support Department, and became involved in the
implementation of the Purchase Ordering system, as well as various COPICS Packages such as Bill of Materials, Inventory
Accounting, and Material Requirements Planning. During this period, the computer in use was upgraded to an IBM 4341, using
DOS/VSE under VM. He worked in the User Support Role for about a year, being on call throughout the working day to assist with
User queries as they arose, and spent the majority of his time at the five user sites in the Midlands.
The last year that he was at Heenan's was spent working as the Project Manager / Lead Analyst on the new on-line Purchase and
Sales Ledger systems, seeing both systems through from initial design and business specification through to implementation at their
five user sites, bringing both systems on-line on budget and to the initially agreed time schedule. This also included generating the
new databases and pointer segments to existing databases, co-ordinating the generation of PSBs, DBDs and ACB generations for
CICS, particularly the changes to the ACT Table, and also involved managing 12 programmers.
He also implemented the in-house written Shop Floor Control system, which had been developed during the same time period as the
Ledger systems.
He was made redundant shortly before the company went into liquidation.
