White House Balks at IT Bail Outs
August 27, 2010
In March 2010, I gave a talk and pointed out that government agencies were not businesses. I am certain the government wizards in the audience were annoyed with me. Well, be that as it may, top budget guy President Obama is balking at bailing out IT projects that are on the skids. You can get a few juicy details from “White House May Overhaul Some $30 Billion in Troubled Tech Projects.” The US government is running in the red. The culprits, of course, are not the agencies themselves or their wild and crazy management methods. Nope. The vendors, those evil doers, are responsible. Among those identified in the article were Accenture, AT&T, IBM, and Oracle. My goodness. I wonder if any other firms were on the master list?

Freebie unlike some of the products from the identified firms.
