Tata Infotech has added a new and prestigious Canadian client to its customer list: the Ministry of Forests, British Columbia, Canada. The client has entrusted Tata Infotech with doing the project offshore; a testimony to Tata Infotech's experience and project management skill in executing projects offshore. The project is a re-engineering and maintenance assignment which, will span a period of one year and will have around fifty software engineers working full-time during the conversion phase.

The Tata Infotech team will go about migrating nine of the Ministry's business applications; dealing with revenue and trade activities; from the present obsolete platform to an Internet-based Java and Oracle platform.

These applications concerned with revenue and trade activities are important business applications for the Ministry; who protects and manages forest resources. The forest resources are a major source of environment, economic and social benefit to the Province of British Columbia, which is renowned for its rich and diverse forest and range resources; 90% of which is publicly owned. Being an outdated platform, the Ministry was finding it difficult to support the old system; besides the Ministry was keen to upgrade to a more open and efficient system.

Tata Infotech will undertake this project in a phased manner with the requirement analysis being conducted on-site; followed by the offshore conversion and testing phase. Then, the acceptance testing, implementation and post implementation support phase will be done on-site.
