Why build a system for Multinational?: Nature of business

Another facet which perhaps mitigated against the computerisation of Multinational was the complexity and one-off nature of the business. The nature of the multinational insurance business included a number of inherent complexities. A small number of complex cases (6000 policies worldwide - 00196) were handled over a long term (00011, 00496) and each programme was processed in many countries (00007) but with the requirement to aggregate for reinsurance purposes (00219, 00023).
