NHS could certainly benefit from going paperless

but the unions will be up in arms at the number of clearical jobs the new iPads now make redundant

I left it after having filled my trough in Leeds, in 2006.

BT Exact, to HP, to Accenture... Fun days of NEEM 🐂

I never bother with French spelling

French letters do interfere with the flow.

Probably, but the consultancies won't have enough permies to handle most of the work they'll be lobbying for, so they may well have to suck in contractors to cope.

Absolutely. They will.

Presumably it will all be spent on accenture and the like?

Seems a bit pointless now given the acadamie francaise want to change a load anyway.

I was BT Exact before being poached by BT Global Services.

Hopefully BT won't get a sniff this time because if they do it will be Tech Mahindra's snout in the trough.

Martlesham? God what a glorious place to work until I had to explain the difference between 'copy run start' and 'write t' to a bunch of TM "CCIEs".

I worked for Ben V at AT&T Unisource previously, so Martelsham was just fantastic at the time. It would have been anyway. A tech place full of nice people with a sailing and flying club (it was a former airport). Did my PPL A+H there.

The decline happened when a board member of Spring ended up on the board of BT.

Déjà vu.

Forget the NHS. Clearly more needs to be spent on education.

I was on SDS (Spine Directory Services) and various other ones, EPR, ETP and other acronyms I can't remember now...

Interestingly you could do it tomorrow at a cost of 10p, i.e. just send an e-mail to all the Doctors and Nurses.

Just simply tell everyone to use google docs.

Yes you could, but with a £4M budget would you want to?

NHS to get £4bn in drive for 'paperless' health service - BBC News



Is it really 10 years since I filled my boots on NPfIT??



GET IN THERE!

Oh dear. I contracted through BT Exact, via Accenture to the NHS for N3 security.

First task, prune over 8K PIX rules. Cisco said it was the most they had ever seen.

I had to do a 4 month study to confirm what I said on first day: Start from scratch.

Above is in public domain so happy to cite.

I am getting ready to moonlight.
