The FBI Software Upgrade That Wasn't

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the there's-a-reason-for-that-low-bid dept.

Davemania writes "Washington Post reports that the FBI's attempt to modernize their department has once again failed. The 170 million dollar Virtual case File system, the agency's second attempt to go paperless is reported to be useless. The finger seems to be pointing at the FBI leadership, greedy contractors and bad software management." From the article: "It appeared to work beautifully. Until Azmi, now the FBI's technology chief, asked about the error rate. Software problem reports, or SPRs, numbered in the hundreds, Azmi recalled in an interview. The problems were multiplying as engineers continued to run tests. Scores of basic functions had yet to be analyzed. 'A month before delivery, you don't have SPRs,' Azmi said. 'You're making things pretty. . . . You're changing colors.'"

    As if Accenture hasn't fleeced for-profit corporations for BILLIONS of dollars.

    You libertarians are a fucking joke. Just because you're a loser in life doesn't mean the system is flawed. Maybe it's just because you were born to fail.
