As Jos pointed out, they are seeking to have a contractor help with
the
migration.

Sure, helping with the migration.
I don't know where you end up in "run through our infrastructure and
tell them
what to do and how" from "helping with the migration".
What I would understand from "helping with the migration" is "make sure
you
help Thunderbird land correctly in the destination organization by
helping
such organization in whatever is needed."
Yep, well, whenever I see external contractors, they come, criticise
what they see, make suggestions that there is no manpower available to
realise, help implementing the suggestions half-bakedly and then rush
out to the next contract. Surely that's a naysayer's point of view,
which is based on my sceptical opinion about this. :)

Frederik
