What you are saying is essentially what I'm saying: It doesn't matter
what your academic background is, you can still make a catastrophic
error that will cost your clients millions of dollars.
So what do we have to fall back on? Experience?
Well New York's experience with this company has been poor since the
software was created. This is far from the only problem the state has
had with this system; it's just the most egregious single error I've
heard about so far.
Yet, the state keeps renewing its contract with the company. Why?
Perhaps because the software is proprietary and if they drop the
contract they lose the software and the data that it maintains?
It's because nobody ever got fired for going with Big Blue...same logic.
