Could I just briefly drift this thread, and ask how a computer system can cost 100 million - or even 10 million for that matter? The costs blow my mind, but I am curious, rather than being Mr Angry of Crawley here.
Can anybody with industrial IT experience give us rough idea of the itemised costs of hardware, software, programming, development, testing etc ? And also the process that is followed in designing and commissioning a new system?
