Replying to the both replies below... This isn't just an Oracle problem - they're obviously over the top in this example, but this seems to be a problem with other vendors as well. I witnessed an example of this in state govt in NC over the last 2 years - loads of promises, under delivered, and as an IT consultant, it was pretty obvious what they were promising was not possible on the time schedule provided. Having tech-knowledgeable external resources to review and look for clarification on muddied points I'd think would be a good thing for the taxpayer and end-users, but they seem to rarely be the focus of these sorts of projects.
