    Might have been Borroughs. DOn't think so though. The actual model isn't really important, I just threw it in in case someone went "Oh, I used to work on those, let me find my old notes " or something.

    What I really want is someone who can confirm

    mid to late 90s : TWO separate systems, one for case management , one for medical cliams.

    Question has been asked of an ex Burroughs salesman... post here as a place marker to remind me.

    ok feedback this morning

    (Company A's) system was a B80 or a B90 I think. They were very basic mini-computers. Somebody like ACC would have probably run an A Series mainframe.

    Ah Collateral comment

    22nd Jan 1997, Dominion Post. A Mr Seay seayed

    It was also implementing a new computer system that would be able to classify sensitive claims and identify the costs of compensating
    claimants.
    That fits with the timing.

    Whoops... my response was way too slow
