Background
Moores Valley System Consultants Limited is a small
Wellington based software development company. We have been in business since
1985, during which time we have specialised in developing high quality software
solutions for our clients. Our client base has been primarily in the life
insurance sector, although we are now increasingly working in other areas.
Our achievements on behalf of our clients have been remarkable when you
consider the size of the company, it clearly demonstrates that experience
counts.
The fact that we have managed to
remain in business, while many of our competitors have fallen by the wayside,
shows the confidence that our clients have placed in us.
We aim to continue to produce high quality state of the art products which give
our clients the competitive edge they seek.
Our first assignment was in the insurance
industry to develop an illustration system on behalf of National Mutual to be
used by their agency force as a selling tool. This system, known as
'ORACLE'remained in use until quite recently.
While working on the National Mutual system we recognised an opportunity in the
market for an illustration system package; we spent some time developing a
prototype which we went on to install for Sun Alliance Life in 1989. This
system remained in operation for several years and was eventually superceded by
a system which Sun Alliance developed in-house.
Next came an assignment with the AMP Society, where we developed their
illustration system known as 'MERIDIAN'. We continued to maintain this system
in conjunction with AMP's own staff up until the end of 1995. Mid-way through
1995 AMP began their own in-house development of a Windows version.
Our most recent assignment has been with CIGNA Life where our first Windows
based illustration system was first released to their brokers in late 1995. We
continue to maintain and further develop this system. At the present time this
would undoubtably be the most sophisticated quotation system available in New
Zealand.
All of the above systems were written in Borland Pascal, which the exception of
CIGNA's system which uses Borland's Delphi.
During 1994 we were commissioned to complete a development on behalf of
Commercial Union Insurance, which had been begun by Creative Solutions before
their demise. This system, written in Borland's Paradox for Windows, was used
by their Auckland based Travel Insurance Department to control adminstration
and claims. We continued to maintain this system on their behalf until late
1995 when their Australian based parent company decided to transfer processing
back to Australia when Commercial Union's New Zealand based operation was sold
to Sun Alliance.
In addition, we have undertaken assignments of varying size, using various
technologies for other non-insurance related clients, including :
