Proper design of access procedures is vital to insuring the security of the data and that it can be recovered if necessary. The design tools discussed in the paper enable operator procedures to be charted in a way that identifies the inte~relation between system recovery points and message sequences. The paper also describes the lower level charts (flowcharts to describe interactive processing) used as specification for programs to be executed between recovery points.

Today, the key questions for financial services professionals, as well as their customers, are whether this level of activity constitutes a bubble or whether it is sustainable. What will the industry look like in 10, 20 or 40 years time? This report paints four scenarios which are built on the best forecasts we have for 2050 in terms of population and the use of technology. Additionally, the report explores the imponderables: how will society organise itself, and the role of financial services, within these scenarios.

It defines scenarios and gives the theoretical and experimental underlying basis for their application. It also contains a discussion of when not to use scenarios. The chapter is contributed by Gill Ringland, the author of several books on scenario planning and the chief executive of SAMI Consulting, which aims to help its customers to make robust decisions in uncertain times. HOW CAN THIS BOOK HELP YOU? You have opened this book because you are a marketer, who has heard about scenarios and want to know what they can do for you.
