'But subsequently version II came in ... Let's go back to before it was brought in because it was put back I think 2 weeks and I kept saying I haven't tested it yet, ... it was up to them to test it but we want some acceptance testing down here. And on ... the end of the week before they sent me a version down of the new database. I couldn't even enter a quote in it. If I can't enter a quote I can't do a programme and I can't do a policy. ...X071 page 005.02 (tape 02.2.04) Keith Notes/Tape 20/01/95So on the Wednesday I think it would be before introduction of the database on the Monday, I was asked to test it. So I sat there putting a quote in, putting a programme and putting a policy in and I came up with I think it was about 27 problems ... So I got on the phone to them and said look, I said, I've got all these problems, I've just mailed you with a list of them and I can't see that we can use it. So they said well we'll just go through your list and compare them. And we have a chat about it and they said, yes we know about most of these, they're all being dealt with at the moment, the others we'll deal with so don't worry about it. Fine. ... It was actually Stuart I think at the time because Gordan ... wasn't there ...
So I came and spoke to Jenny. Knowing Jenny I was expecting her to hit the roof, you know, so I thought I've got to be careful here, so I said, look I really think I've tested this database and there are some problems with it and I said, I know it's already been delayed but I think we ought to delay it another week or so. Fine, fine. Well, I said, here's a list with what's wrong with it. They say that they know most of these and that they've either corrected them or in the process of correcting them. I said, but I'm not happy with that. WELL, and she speaks to the person who is over Gordan, Kevin ... and she explains the position to him. He clearly doesn't know of the problem, too remote for whatever reason, so he says, right I'll have a word with Stuart and come back to you. So he came back to us, he said I've spoken to him, there is no problem, everything will be alright and so the system was introduced.'
