    7 out of 10 government IT projects fail

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7141929.stm

    Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said the government has a "long way to go" on its IT strategy.

    He told Commons committee chairmen that public and private firms had to come to terms with IT security issues.

    Andrew Miller, chairman of Parliament's IT body Pitcom, said seven out of ten projects had failed and there were questions over the rollout of ID cards.



    Public sector IT. A bottomless pit of money for the discerning (but lazy arsed) Contractor.

    Vote Labour and fill yer boots!!!

    I think government IT projects are pretty successful, as money laundering operations go.

      I believe the definition of "failed" is failed to deliver anything at all for the money.

      The other 30% deliver something that does not work.
