Organisational context: Existing Multinational computer systems

'The situation then was that it was decided that yes we ought to computerise this properly, so ... about six or seven years ago ... management instituted a review as to how we might put it onto the mainframe and I, because I've always had some interest in that side of things, I became involved in helping design the screens and so on. We got basically as far as having designed the screens when if you like a big change occured in as much as Tim arrived, ... and almost as soon as he was here he had a meeting with the UK people who were going to be in control of writing the program ... and one of his questions was that if Multinational, for the sake of argument, was not part of XUK would we still want to use the mainframe and the answer ... was basically no. So he said right stop it, don't do anymore.'
