Is the government not willing to change the way they operate on technology? Why does everything the government do get contracted out? Is there a possibility of the tech for all government systems be supplied in house and operated as such?
Who is in charge of technology contracts and why are they still around?
When does this sort of bullshit stop? MILLIONS are being wasted on something that hasn't lasted a few weeks
ARE THEY SERIOUSLY EXPECTING THESE SYSTEMS TO LAST YEARS?
- LeeHunter 13y agoBe careful what you wish for. Internally developed systems in the government tend to suck as badly and cost as much or more than solutions that are contracted out. Software development, except in relatively small isolated cases, will never be well executed inside government. The nature of bureaucracy pretty much guarantees it. The best hope is relying on open source or off the shelf software as much as possible.
