Software Engineer with a background in Computer Science and Training Simulation from the University of Central Florida. Most of my experience has been in multi-tier web applications, but I have also participated in R&D of Augmented Reality technology and other various software projects. I really enjoy helping people, and I'm very eager to contribute back to the Stack Exchange community, from whom I have learned so much.

Keep in mind that the $1M/day was not for software maintenance only, but also for hardware/infrastructure maintenance. So they weren't spending $1M/day just to maintain the software.

Unfortunately, I was not at this company when the contract was made. I don't have access to it because I'm not a member of management, so I'm not sure what it stipulates.

comment How should I go about “overhauling” a large legacy application?
@MichaelT Haha Somehow I knew someone was going to link to that article. How bad does the design have to be to justify a rewrite? This design is pretty bad. There is tons of business logic hiding in the application. No specs, no logs of requirements changes, no list of bug fixes, no list of open bugs, no test suite, no documentation. And the guy who originally wrote it is now in upper management.
