If I was to guess the CDC wrote poor specs. Probably never talked at length to a variety of different county health departments to understand their needs. Never had a persona written so they didn't understand the need for IE or that people might be using it on a mobile phone.
Deloitte just coded the spec, cashed their check and walked away. Deloitte probably outsourced development overseas.
I know some smaller government contractors in the D.C area who would have done it for a third as much and done some of the CDC's work for them when they saw that it wasn't done.
- bitcharmer 6y agoNo. Big consultancies are hired to - among other things - capture the requirements (simply because many of their clients don't know how to do it properly). But they intentionally do it in a form that lets them over-charge and under-deliver. Seen it too many times.
