Phase II (Sep 93 - Mar 94): Functionality in phase II

'So one of the key things that we will be doing in Phase II is the, for want of a better phrase, MIS type work, ... all the different types of report, and because of the relational database that should be reasonably straight forward, ... We've only dealt with the major property and casualty policy classes, X also writes motor fleet business and in America it writes workers compensation business and they wanted to do a bit of work on enhancing the system to cater better for those classes of business.

So the work is MIS, extra policy classes, improve the performance of the system, they want more work doing on location re-insurance, now that's where, say, you insure a big building that's owned by one company and you also insure three or four other companies that have got offices in that building then you want to make sure that you treat that building as one location for re-insurance purposes, because if it goes up all those policies are hit, right? So it's quite sophisticated processing involved in that it's very...a good example is with the bombs in London at the moment, if one goes off in the street you can bet your life that X-Group has insured five or six buildings in that street.'
