As someone who’s actually been part of a team that did this exact migration, it’s gonna be shitshow with tons of bugs when the mainframes are decommissioned and the new system goes live.
It’s not the wrong move cause the tech is increasingly obsolete but the level of effort will be underestimated.
I think this type of project would take at least five years. A minimum of three to develop, 1 to do internal QA, and at least a fifth as a slow roll out from the smallest states while progressing to the larger. If bugs are revealed during that fifth year, slow the roll while getting them patched up.
It is the sort of thing that requires long term vision, effective governance, and patience. Things that Trump and friends do not possess.
Surprise surprise, that’s a similar time frame the last attempt at this gave. Apparently the they never got too far off thr ground because they had to divert resources to help against covid

it is only obsolete if you have a better currently working solution
anything else is a fucking pipe dream
Just toss it all into an Access database. What could go wrong?
This comment has spoken to me!
Nope it’s also obsolete if the cost of maintaining an old system is far higher than a buggy new system. That’s what accountants tell me anyway.
people say this at a manager level, then go over budget by 3x in time, 2x in cost and only mostly get the same result as the original
ask me how I know
accountants, business majors and leadership with 0 experience doing the actual job need to fuck right off
fucking wanker muppet elmo
