Organisational context: Existing Multinational computer systems

'X depends for the running of nearly all its main systems upon the host mainframes of the local operating companies. These systems are generally reliable and indispensable, but can be hard to adapt to X's complex and case based underwriting. ... [In Multinational Operations] the UK mainframe systems are used only for handling financial transactions and UK claims. Underwriting, underwriting administration, overseas claims, and client reporting are handled via PC systems.'
