> Accenture and Hertz engage in phase 1 of the project, producing a “solution blueprint” that describes the functionality, business processes, technology, and security aspects of the envisioned solution. Fees paid to Accenture for this phase total $7M.
7 million dollars for requirements gathering?
Hertz should have known better. I'd pay just to see these contracts for entertainment value.
- antisthenes 4y agoEntirely feasible if there are a multitude of teams at Hertz with hands in the cookie jar. Trying to coordinate between 10+ managers of varying seniority (in a legacy company who's struggling with tech) and prevent scope creep at the same time is an absolute nightmare scenario. I'd hate to be the Business Analyst in charge of that.
- beckingz 4y ago$7m / $200/hr = 35,000 hours, means a team of almost 20 people working for a year. That's a whole team of business analysts to create so many spreadsheets.
