Originally posted by expat View PostThat's what Accenture do: make reams of documentation, snow under the client with Accenture-defined "targets", then code with a load of juniors, 1 senior, and 1 systems guy, plus 1 expensive project manager (paid for by the client) whose purpose is to keep proving that Accenture are meeting their targets.
Whether the client gets what does it for them, is quite another question.

Not on this, but on a similar one - called GENIE (Gas & Electricity New Integrated Environment), again using Siebel as a CRM front-end. Through Cap Gemini though , not Ass-enture. I wouldn't trust the latter with upgrading my laptop, let alone with projects worth hundreds of millions.

If I remember correctly the CRM was Siebel and the integration platform was eGate (Java).

I doubt it will go that far. They won't want the publicity and will no doubt settle out of court.
