Wow that would a challenge

[featured_spectre]

Think of the several thousands of email accounts being moved...and the volume of emails being moved

[kevin_lane]

No one apply just for the crack of it lol

Think of all the legacy systems you have to move over.

3.11?!

[robjduk]

maybe I'm looking at it too easily but surly no different from the migration of my current 2000 users to 365, just ten times the users. Theory being (and confident), no downtime and with the budget that no doubt holds, the job would be a breeze.

No, they are already on Google Docs HMRC ditches Microsoft for Google, sends data offshore • The Register

 

Don't blame them with the dire mess OneDrive Business is.

HMRC currently has a hugely complex IT estate, ranging from ‘state of the art’ data analytics platforms to 40-year old systems.

 

Seriously?!

 

This pre-dates windows 3.1!!

State of the art touch screens???

 

[free780]

I was thinking IE6.

Netscape Navigator lol

I was actually interested in applying living in Shipley - sadly I then read 'must have experience in overseeing £50 million pound+ projects' - in my current role a project costing £5 is considered breaking the bank

Why are we allowed to comment on this?

Last time I commented about the dire state of an IT system in a jobs post I was reprimanded???

It's ok to say that HMRC networks are bad though...

The general rule is no comments in the job forum and this is tightly enforced. General chat and BTRD can be used to discuss job terms such as salaries.

 

However, very occasionally we are prepared to relax the rules slightly where more "unusual" jobs that haven been posted by the advertiser are concerned. For example, the role on Ascension Island and this one due to its sky-high (geddit?! ) salary.

A very good job but with some horrendous targets, relying on some external contractors.

 

I know a few folk applying and it is very high calibre ... good luck for those who get through to the sorting hat phase!
