Somewhat related, my credit union decided to “upgrade” its on line format so they bought into a start up which advertised itself as a diverse company.

The CU spent 20Million to finance this company. They have the staff working around the clock to fix the thing and to answer phone calls about account status. They even opened branches on sunday.
