Organisational changes: New IT leadership

' ... Here's Gordan. ... George he's got Manny and he's got Jane, who is doing the underwriting side of the Multinational system and he's got me doing mostly the multinational insurance accounting and also other accounting. The new Marine system will need an accounting system added on. The X need a new expense accounting system. They want a new IT system to help them add up their returns from round the world and produce an accounting report. All of those things will be handled in the same way, using an off the shelf accounting application called Sun Accounts which we're also using in the Multinational system to handle the ledger accounting, let's call it, as opposed to the insurance accounting. ...

But for the work on Multinational accounts I've also..I'm reporting to a steering committee and I'm reporting intermittently to Neville to keep him happy or to make sure that he is happy. And I'm reporting to Norman who's the chairman of the steering committee, who is X's shall we say chief accountant and of course Mr George. I'm not proud, I'll report to anybody. ...

Mr George as you'll know also has another IT person appointed to him, Mr Karl who is responsible for operations and support using a team largely based in London although also using some GIS staff up here.'
