Can AtW implement NHS IT system for 100 times less than actual cost?

[Gonzo]

Blowing my own horn here, but I'm one of the people that built the new 'NHS' IT system here in Denmark.

What are you doing posting on here this morning?

I heard that there are about 100 world leaders who have travelled to Copenhagen to meet you.

Do you think I go on about the very good reason Denmark is considered #1 for Government IT a bit too much?

Not at all

Are you suggesting that Threaded is the cause of global warming?

They're a bit delayed by the fog.

Look at the tulipe you came up with for no money, god knows the crap you could come up with if you had resources and money.

I think the question should be can AtW follow someone else's requirements and not tell them that they're wrong

Oh, you think the 12bn was for an IT project? I thought it was a way of ensuring a lucrative post election career.

Isn't the former health secretary a member of BT's board? hmmmm...

Well, the people (and sockpuppets) have spoken... clearly even AndyW's mum could do it and surely for a lot less than £12 bln

It needs to be central because it is much easier to guarantee up time and performance for one central location than many local ones, this does not mean DB can't be replicated to a couple of regional data centers.

Either way £12 bln seems a ridiculous amount for it, heck for any IT project...

You're right, but it does seem that we're controlled by cretins (doesn't say a lot about us, either! ) I think I'll scream the next time someone who claims to know about IT starts shouting how performance is affected by tables containing millions of rows...

You spoke too soon and I haven't even had to use a sockie yet.
