I see this as another example of a failed migration project that focuses on non-functional requirements of the system, at the expense of functional requirements. Time and time again we see the same result in projects costing taxpayers or shareholders millions. There seems to be no shortage of those (at every level) ready to believe that one can just apply some “technologies” to very complex legacy systems that will result in something new and effective.
