'Implementation date Nov. 5, 1999
***********************
The General Accounting Office, which testified before a U.S. House of
Representatives committee last week, is also worried. A system at the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, for example, processes
payments of about $354 million a month.
The system is already 75 days behind schedule for remediation, making
its implementation date Nov. 5, 1999. A little more schedule slippage,
the GAO warned, and "the economic repercussions could be widespread."
********************************
I wonder how far behind they are if they include a minumum of testing
and reworking (and then testing of the reworking)? A "little more
schedule slippage" possible for the Government of the US of A? Nahhhhh!
I refuse to believe it. I know Microsoft, Oracle, IBM and all the
software pros are always late, but the Gumment? Nahhhh. - pl
