Plain and simple. The company will not deliver services without making a profit. ICT should be a fully transparent cost-center in any public sector environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-1303448282196130192012-02-20T20:06:47.289+00:002012-02-20T20:06:47.289+00:00Many of those legacy systems actually work fine. ...Many of those legacy systems actually work fine. The answer has been to replace many of them with one great big expensive white elephant (called Caseflow) which doesn't work (and in fact is worse than useless and everyone forced to work with it hates it with a vengeance), but it (allegedly) "better fits HMRC's strategic direction, vision, purpose and way"... so that's OK then...

Time and time again its the tail wagging the dog, i truly beleive any contractor who deals with them must be rubbing their hands with glee, it literally is a license to print money they run rings around these clowns who deal with procurement. HMRC really are clueless its no wonder they are in the shit they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
