I have an immediate need for an IT consultant with MS SQL and ColdFusion experience, as well as good verbal and written communication skills.

My situation is that Im buying out a business partner who has been in charge of all the IT and programming for our ecommerce company. Hes a talented programmer, and he coded our website/ business system from scratch almost single-handedly. While the system is running behind the times, and will likely be replaced in mid-future, it is currently doing a good job running our business. I also have one other IT employee that is a junior coder, who is also a talented team member, but not as experienced, who will continue to remain employed by the company.

The business and personal nature of the events surrounding the buyout of this partner makes his relationship with me and the company tenuous at best. He is a disgruntled employee who will be exiting the business in about a month, and I need to get as much information from him regarding an inventory of the intangible intellectual property he manages before he exits. The terms of the buyout are such that once he is paid in-full at the closing, he will walk away with no obligation to assist in the transfer of information or to train others on his responsibilities.

While hes now still employed with the company, as President of the company I have the right to take inventory of the companys intellectual assets, and he has the obligation to comply in providing that which he manages (I have legal counsel assisting with this matter). Since my skills in business are not in the areas of IT, Im seeking an expert with similar skills as those of my exiting partner who can assist me now in creating a list of information that I should obtain from my partner before he leaves, that would be needed by a future replacement and by the remaining junior IT employee.

I am seeking a senior ColdFusion, MS SQL IT expert to work with me on this hopefully as soon as tomorrow. The work will consist of phone conversations with me, as well as my junior IT employee, and creating the lists of what is needed such as passwords, source code, offsite storage, onsite files, and the like. Depending on how my partner does or does not comply, additional phone conferences may also include the exiting partner and my legal counsel where you would represent the opinion of the IT expert. Once the partner responds to our requests, you would be needed to review his deliverables, assess their sufficiency, and articulate further requests if needed, and continue this process until satisfied that we have documented what is needed to facilitate a reasonably smooth transition of his job position to someone else when such an individual is hired.

Provided this project goes well, I will also be in need of someone of your skills on an ongoing basis for part-time programming and consulting work which perhaps you could provide.

If you are interested in this work and available immediately, please contact me a.s.a.p. Please start your email with the exact phrase "Im a Coldfusion and MS SQL expert" so I know youve read this job posting in its entirety.

Thank you,

Andrew
