the help of a brilliant team, achieved a spectacular result.
bullet Instantaneous response times at over 3000 transactions a minute - over the LAN & WAN

This system has since been enhanced, renamed, and is now servicing about 30,000 users in many  countries in Australasia.
Clive also continued to be heavily involved in the day to day DBA management and optimisation of the large NT SQL Server installations.

This system was a world first at the time in that users totally controlled the system - new labs, screens, test and reports could be designed and implemented online without any changes to the software and without even having to restart the system.
