Actually THM, you’re right. It seems like, reading more into it here another familiar government trait was to blame. Namely being bamboozled by Sales people into commissioning yet more ludicrous, doomed IT projects
It questioned why officials ordered expensive IT systems without even considering far cheaper versions which would have been more than adequate.
When the **** are they ever going to learn?
EDIT: The point I’m trying to make, is that with a government presently saying they’re going to save billions from ‘efficiency savings’, how much more of this type of thing is presently underway. A lot, I suspect. I think they’re all as bad as each other> it seems like no matter who’s in ‘power’, this is the inevitable upshot of it
