I know of one huge govt IT web project (+$100 million) soon to go live that is being delivered, believe it or not, from their mainframe. I wonder what your panel of experts would think about that approach. :)
- arethuza 15y agoIf it hasn't gone live yet then it is perhaps just a wee bit early to be treating it as a success!
- harel 15y agoI don't think he treated it as a success. I smell the cynicism all the way to here.
- GiraffeNecktie 15y agoThe organization is already treating it as a smashing success, although it's a couple of years late and much of the most useful functionality has been pushed back to later releases. It's amazing how little your hundred million gets you in the government. I should also mention that this is not the UK government.
- harel 15y agoI think all governments are suckers when it comes to technology they don't understand. There will always be someone who does and can scoop up their/our cash.
- harel 15y ago$100 million project is just insane. Even if that app directly serves every man, woman and child of the United Kingdom every single day, that is still 60 million visitors a day. Not unheard of. I'm sure 80% of that budget is fudge by the company who bid and won it, mainly allowed due to the lack of understanding of how these things can work within government. I wouldn't give a toss but its my money being spent at the end of the day.
