It became much more complex and I don't think we said hold on a minute this is getting to be an awfully big complicated thing perhaps we should go through that process again ... So I think things were sort of stuck on here and there and everywhere. And it didn't really use the functionality of Sybase at all. ... Scott who is much more of a technical SIA than I am, he said well it isn't really a relational data structure at all. There's very little sort of integrity checking. ... we were under pressure from time because the timescales had been agreed already and that was an imperative within X. ... I think the ease with which you can build things and quite impressive looking things is really a bit of a mirage really. ... It's actually just as complicated as it ever was. ... '
