After some more light-hearted reading on the web I came across this little snippet the Girls and boys from EDS seem to have pulled through and caused yet another
IT fiasco.
Why, why, why do we continue to use a company that continues to fail us? Are there nice little backhanders going on in the upper Gov echelons?
To quote the article; 'By chasing cheap deals via economies of scale, the Government has made a rod for its own back -- putting too many desktops running the same software in the hands of one supplier. It might cost slightly more and be harder to manage,' it is nince to see these flaws being addressed, however this is from a IT Web News Site, not the common browsing for most people.
Well and a little further reading leads us onto the
savings for the MOD. Giving the Ministry of Defence a cost savings of £174m over the first three years of its £4bn IT outsourcing deal.
Yes these are a little dated but, they foretold the troubles to come.
Oh and to the nice Mods can we merge both the JPA Threads now?
