A mainframe own build approach was rejected during the IT Strategy as too expensive (00168) but then they ended up adopting an own build client server solution although there was no evidence that this would actually be cheaper. As Gordan says, retrospectively, at the time there was a move in GIS away from packages back to building systems because of new powerful PC-based development systems (00032). It may be that the development team was influenced by this movement.
