  >I've always thought a dedicated team of coders, managed and directed well, would be much better for government/educational IT than going with giant corrupt companies. This is generally true. Most people do not realise that software development is primarily a social phenomenon. The bottleneck in societies, which increases rapidly given an ever increasing society size, is communication. By physically placing management and the techies in different locations the communication slows down. Slow communication means that the wrong problems are being solved and resources are being wasted. Since resources are being wasted, time is constrained which reduces quality. There is a golden middle for the size of an organization. This is something which society at large does not yet recognise.
