| 84.1 | BIO - available in Belgium | YUPPY::MOSSMAN | A lone mongoose in a world of snakes | Mon Oct 30 1989 08:06 | 8 |
| Just to show willing, I'm going to start this off by saying that
I only have personal knowledge of one WORKING system and that is
the BIO package, available via Digital Belgium. What I am not quite
so sure of is whether this software house could actually support
any sales made in the UK in the short term.

| 84.2 | Got a sheet of paper? That's the list. | WARDER::FULTON | H.V? Yes Yes! | Tue Oct 31 1989 12:46 | 17 |
| I know you know about this, Mike, but for general consumption:
Sherwood Financial systems has a Pensions New Business and
Administration system for Financial Institutions, available now.
Life New Business, and Life-linked Pensions New Business are scheduled
for mid 1990. Life Administration, and Life-Linked Pensions
Administration is scheduled for "End 1990". They are, I believe,
talking about developing the Admin systems on IBM.....
Contact Jim Watson 0452-500777
There are other pensions systems, intended for company administration
of their OWN pensions schemes, not for the Financial services
companies. Let me know if you want any info in this area.

| 84.3 | What about Heywoods ? | YUPPY::MOSSMAN | A lone mongoose in a world of snakes | Wed Nov 01 1989 06:25 | 9 |
| re .2
Thank you, Gordon. As you say, this confirms my own suspicions.
Just for the record, is Heywoods one of those in-house pensions
packages ?
M.
|
| 84.4 | YES | WARDER::FULTON | H.V? Yes Yes! | Wed Nov 01 1989 08:55 | 17 |
| I haven't talked to Heywoods for about 12 months now, so if anyone
has an update, please speak up!
Last I heard, Heywood had a pensions system for medium to large
company pension schemes. At the time it was PDP based, and a VAX
version was on its way within a month or two.
Contact Ken Liscombe or Melanie Mardon on 061-941-4053
other company schemes that I've heard of;
Hogg robinson (not actively promoted); UPS; Dominion (under
development?); and at one stage Adatco/Apricot were developing one.
Can you post further details on Bio here, Mike?

| 84.5 | A bit more on BIO | YUPPY::MOSSMAN | A lone mongoose in a world of snakes | Thu Nov 02 1989 06:33 | 26 |

>> Can you post further details on Bio here, Mike?
I will give a fuller write-up when nexy in my office but in the
meantime here is a little bit about BIO.
They are Belgium and offer a fully paramaterised general purpose
insurance admin system on a VAX based upon Powerhouse.
The package is really a shell of standard screens with all input
and output routines built in. The beauty of the system is that the
customer makes it unique by adding user-defined routines for specific
policies and products.
BIO is relational and includes comprehensive facilities for client
based control and enquiries. It is probably significant that they
were part of our display at the recent CAPA show in Paris and created
a lot of interest with insurance visitors from all over Europe.
I cannot at this stage make any comment on availability or support
in the UK.
