Project Overview

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 environment, in accordance with Ontario Public Service (OPS) architecture, security, and accessibility standards.

Key Responsibilities

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

Create unit test code and automated UI test coverage

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

Design and construct REST API services exposing report and reference data

Provide documentation for developers on effective use, integration, and versioning of the API

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

Migrate and refactor existing WebFOCUS SQL and report logic into the new application

Produce source code developed to specification, version-controlled in Azure DevOps
