When X was formed Tim took a keen interest in the IT systems (00697, 00419) and this seemed to continue until he appointed George (01007).
In September 1993, X appointed a Finance Director, George, to have overall responsibility for IT (00006).
Around December 1993, George appointed Kevin as IT manager of X (Gordan was a candidate for the job apparently) (00355). Gordan effectively reported to Kevin although he still worked for GIS (00355); so that he reported to GIS on resource issues and Kevin on progress (00637). In addition, X assigned Gordan to a more consultant role as systems development manager and assigned the Marine project to him at around the same time (00638). There was also someone else appointed as network support manager (00087).In March 1994, X held a workshop, led by George and Kevin (00036), to discuss the future uses of IT in X (00034).
In June 1994, Kevin resigned to take on a McDonalds franchise (00548).
In October 1994, X appointed two managers to replace Kevin. Gordan was appointed as Development Projects and Standards Manager (with effect from 1 September 1994) and Karl was appointed as Operations and Support Manager (with effect from 1 December 1994). Gordan had budgetary responsibility for all major systems changes and enhancements in X (00769) and set standards (for development and equipment) (01075). Karl was responsible for operational issues including networks, PC support and maintenance of existing systems (00724).
