"In an email, a spokeswoman for Leidos would only say that “the Leidos system was delivered on time, on-scope and is fully functioning.”" I can't imagine saying that with a straight face.
- jobu 12y agoYeah, given the end result I can't imagine what they're thinking by saying that. To their credit, the auditors said this was their first negative review of the company: "Charles Collins Jr., the lead author of the MTG report, said in an interview that the consulting group had encountered SAIC in the past. He said he believed this to be MTG’s first critical report on the contractor." Their review of another department (Division of Statewide Services) was particularly damning though: "In the December 2013 “organizational review” of the Division of Statewide Services, also conducted by MTG Consulting Group, auditors found evidence of what they called “a seriously dysfunctional IT support organization.” The review found that the division lacked governance and communication, its benefits to other divisions and departments were unclear, and there was a serious aversion to risk or change." Sounds like the place was being run by Mordac: http://goo.gl/o7JRvr http://goo.gl/o7JRvr
