- save_ferris 8y agoWow, they didn't waste any time in that executive summary. Those bullet points are insane on their own.
- dmix 8y agoEven ignoring all the lack of deliverables, just the amount of financial trickery and lack of project oversight by the way money was pumped into it via philanthropy (instead of primary funding channels) which meant it bypassed multiple checks and balances, including from anyone knowledgeable of software development. Sounds like every other failed $50+ million government software project ever, which IBM is apparently an expert at. Except this money donated by private citizens was redirected from other cancer research projects and siphoned into a billion dollar company’s coffers. Really shameful stuff.
