Exp	Meridian was bought by Chubb Insurance company of North America in Belgium in 1982 as a replacement for the then existing mainframe system and a development team was setup along with a German house. It was created for the lines of business which did not have portfolio management and later went on to be used as a generic policy/claims registration system for all lines (except life). Technology of Meridian was initially S/34, and has moved through S/36, AS400 and iSeries hardware over time. Code is mixture of RPG II, RPG III, RPG IV, and RPG ILE with some COBOL thrown in. Meridian accounting module provides data capture for General Ledger and multiple currency handling and reporting, performs data processing, Expense allocations, and Accounts receivable/Payable Sub Ledgers.
