' ... This is at the design stage. ... But this is still like a form of prototyping, because he's mocking up these screens and discussing them with users in workshops and so forth ... So they've seen them on the screen as well, but there's nothing behind them at the moment. He's done quite a good job of it actually and did a good presentation. They presented it all to the accountants and the underwriters. They did a very good presentation, the team. I'm very pleased. It looks too complicated, ...X060 page 004.04 (tape 03.2.02) Gordan Notes/Tape 14/10/94I think it was more effective when you had something that worked, you know, you could show them. Even if was just very basic in scope, I think that would be more effective. This is a bit boring really. ... Oh, it looks a bit better than they used to look years ago, that's all. It's the same thing, ... but maybe, ??? because it's an accounting application you've just got to get it right, because it's all about it money, maybe you've got to do it this way. I don't know.
{But the thing that I am looking at is this is all about screens. Where's the processing?} Well, I don't know. {Where's the underlying data?} You'll have to forgive me, but I haven't actually been involved in this side of it. So the screen will be..so it tells you what each is doing and what the data..this would be an active and this is a non-zero value, so it's actually got some processing functions, but it's not got any kind of database design or anything. It's not a technical design or anything. This is simply..this is a business specification, if you like. ...
Well, this is for Colin to pick up when he starts his role. With the user specification you would normally have the screen and you would have more on the data side and also you'd have the processing logic as well. There's nothing on that either. ... '
