Q: WHY DID YOU REPLACE YOUR CORE FINANCIAL
SYSTEMS?
A: We put in IFS in September two years ago (see Company

understand the implications of those decisions.
Because of the way the systems had been set up, in a period

in effect as separate functions, down to the level of separate
spreadsheets, and we knew we were not operating as efficiently
as we should have been.
