Alan, analyst-programmer on Multinational Project in GIS

Alan joined the project in November 1993 straight from a degree and a phd in mathematics. He did an induction course on joining X followed by a Powerbuilder course (00566). On phase II he worked with Ned on the reports and between them they designed a new standard for reports (00897).

Following the installation of version II Alan was asked to coordinate the support and fixing of problems in version II (00899). This included making changes to the live data (00903).

In phase III Alan was due to help Matt with the Unix migration but when Matt left he took over (00077). Gordan reckoned that while he perhaps wasn't as good as Matt technically, he was more of a team player and less protective of his knowledge (00077).

Under Jane, Alan became the Database Administrator (00866) and went on to work on the installation of the new architecture using Replication servers (01106).
