Aegon is one of the larger insurers with various departments, including AVN (Aegon Van Nierop ) . This department manages a small part of the policies. This department will be shutdown eventually, but until then the people of Aegon still working with outdated technology. Most software runs on Windows Server 2003. As of July 1, 2015 the support for this OS stops, and Aegon will have to look for a new OS (Windows Server 2008 or 2012 ) . The problem is that the software they are using here will not work because they are primarily 16 -bit and communicate with a Btrieve database ; this will also slowely disappear from the Aegon landscape. My tasks at Aegon:- Migrate 20 VB6 applications to a new environment (Windows server 2012). Some applications needed to be changed internally.- Make each VB6 application communicate with SQL 2012 instead of BTrieve.- Migrate Excel-macro's and VBA to new techniques- Introduced TFS as a replacement for Visual SourceSafe.Used technics: VB.NET 3.5 en 4, Visual Studio 2013, SQL 2012, Visual Basic 6, Visual Studio 6, BTrieve, Pervasive PSQL, WinForms, TFSUsed methods: Scrum, agile, Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
