'And the aim is it will be implemented first in Holland and after it's had a reasonable interval there it will then come into France and then probably in Germany and then back here in the UK.X075 page 003.05 (tape 02.1.02) Colin Notes/Tape 17/02/95And that returns me to an original or an earlier point where ever it is, where I said that Mr George had the view that we could produce an early version that Holland were happy with because what they did was vanilla. I decided at the start that I wasn't happy with an approach like that and that we had to obtain agreement from the UK to the requirements because we want to run it in the UK and the UK is X's main operation. So if I could not have agreement to it from the UK then I was wasting my time.
And interesting how Neville's approach has changed in that certainly when the accounting work was presented to him before I became involved the response from Neville was, well I'm not sure we need that in the UK. ... Now in his new role, his view has changed completely. Hopefully we've also made it easier for him to change because it is clear that the UK requirements are included. And it will be implemented in other offices first and so having it implemented across Europe and not having it implemented in the UK is clearly rather an unusual approach. So we ought to have it implemented in the UK I would say towards the end of next year realistically. In the meantime we're constructing a small system for them under Access to let them handle their immediate accounting needs. ... '
