Logistics Systems Management Division SM-ALC - McClellan AFB 4/92 – 12/95

Legacy Systems Specialist / Sr. Special Projects Office

Dr. Michael Kelley was instrumental in providing ground breaking analysis, including requirements for maintaining, modifying, or converting unique application systems that are deemed “legacy” systems. Dr. Kelley provided guidance and technical, functional advice to senior programmers, assisted in the identification of requirements for Year 2000 modifications to AFMC (Air Force Material Command) legacy systems, and provided unique knowledge of the history of changes to AFMC legacy systems and applications.

Dr. Kelley also developed plans to migrate “legacy” systems to new technologies and/or new functionality within DOD. This involved analysis and documentation of procedures and functionality to identify mandatory requirements to be fulfilled by migrations legacy systems candidates. Dr. Kelley participated in the analysis, evaluation and prioritization of migration system candidates.

Dr. Kelley was also instrumental in the designing, developing, and implementing of changes to “legacy” systems to accommodate such requirements as Year 2000 modifications, interim interfaces to migration systems, and/or conversion to migration systems.

These conversions involved development of applications in a number of languages including, but not limited to; Cobol, Fortran, VMS\DCL and SQL. Operating platforms included, among others; VMS, AMDAHL, TANDEM, UNIX, and UNISYS.

Some 28 mission critical legacy systems were analyzed involving Financial Management, Workload Management, and Manpower Management which provided core in-depth analysis for life-cycle support, base closure contingency, and migration of legacy systems. Dr. Kelley personally assisted in the maintenance and management of data collection systems for analysis and reporting of financials, workloading, and manpower requirements.

Dr. Kelley’s ultimate goal being achieved in the creation of the FAIC (Financial Application Integrity Checking) process in pursuit of DOD policy and Y2K compliance of legacy and management systems which included certification and functional desktop procedures for all management support systems.

Received a Special Acts and Services Award from Michael P. Wiedemer, Base Commander on behalf of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force Robert F. Hale.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

• Developed a local policy program (FAIC) adopted by AFMC to provide guidance and integrity checking of critical legacy systems and made the policy available via the McClellan Home Page for AFMC coordination and consumption.

• Coordinated teams to implement compliance modifications (including programming and documentation) for 18 financial, manpower, workload management, and data warehousing systems in 24 months.

• Led the DCAA audit team to train and implement the new procedural changes required to meet compliance with 294 material personnel on JON Close-Out Procedures, G004H suspense process, and courtesy storage processing (Y-MIC)

• Developed the program flow, process flow, architectural layout on the new Employee Daily Time Utilization Record (EDTUR) timecards, and trained over 320 direct labor supervisors on it’s use which improved the oversight of labor reconciliation standards and secure data transfers across a developed N-Tier Translation Software for level 4 security.

• Developed an internal audit for research, development, analysis and implementation disciplines performed on various mainframes, micro servers, distributed web enabled servers, networked and stand-alone high security systems.

• Coordinated, tracked, and documented the analysis, development, modifications, compliance, and recovery activities for 2,786 users establishing working groups for the development and implementation of SM-ALC policy and procedure handbooks and conducting internal audits.

• Managed the exercising of such disciplines as: Y2K compliance, contingency measures, security measures, archive processes, functional analysis, feasibility studies, programming documentation, market surveys, training and user requirements, application and transaction controls, audit trails, historical analysis, and error and access controls.

• Coordinated with other logistics centers for the creation of logistics strategies and desktop procedures for implementation of newly developed Information Technology solutions to legacy systems.

• Acted as a liaison between senior management, departmental heads, programmers, system managers, and the users providing reviews on all directorate internal training courses to ensure new DCAA policies were included.

• Performed analysis, recommendations, and assistance in migrating over 60 critical logistics systems to 5 primary locations which included over 100 high security/ networks /intranet /internet interfaces, over 60k files interoperating at 6,495 transaction in SC&D and RDB on AMDAHL, TANDEM, HONEYWELL, VAX/VMS.

• Managed development of an internet ASP Site to SQL Server backend, Secure web site for viewing current workload status reports.

• Managed development and implementation of ported ASP/SQL Server 7.0NT 4 to PHP PostgreSQL Linux.
