Description:

WebFOCUS is the reporting and Business Intelligence (BI) framework currently used to support MTO operational reporting for several critical business functions. This engagement supports the design, development, and delivery of a replacement operational reporting portal. The successful resource(s) will re-platform existing WebFOCUS reports — including the underlying business logic, SQL, and data transformation rules — into a modern, supportable web application (Java back end / Angular front end) hosted in the ministry's Azure workplace, in accordance with Ontario Public Service (OPS) architecture, security, and accessibility standards.

- Web User Interface:

- Fully commented and functional Angular front-end code for the reporting portal

- Unit test code and automated UI test coverage

- Responsive, accessible (AODA-compliant) report views translated from existing WebFOCUS report layouts

- Application Programming Interfaces (API):

- Design and construction of REST API services exposing report and reference data

- Documentation for developers on effective use, integration, and versioning of the API

- Backend / Data Development

- Java-based backend services connecting the application to underlying relational databases

- Migration and refactoring of existing WebFOCUS SQL and report logic into the new application
