I could not agree more with your comment on all counts.
You just have to remember that a big corporation is interested in making profit, and always more profit. IT is just another cost center that must be reduced, year after year. They are actively cutting budgets and "downsizing".
Yes, they are cutting corners and doing an atrocious job. That's the real world.
- dx034 9y agoAnd this is not a corporation. We're talking about public services that faced huge budget cuts. A business can be convinced to upgrade if this increases profits in the long run. Public services have yearly budgets, investments in infrastructure are hard to justify and next to impossible in times of austerity.
