Actually IIRC it was more like  _four_ systems with little agreement as to which one was to be used, how to design etc. It was a classic case of a project starting up without any seriously experienced practitioners and getting into all sorts of problems that then need clearing up. Of course, you then have issues with the 'originals' feeling that their stuff is perfect and the 'laters' claiming it isn't and so on.

Moral of the story; hire me at the beginning of the project, not halfway through.  :-)
