(CNN) -- Tech titans Oracle and Red Hat are joining the effort to "address the problems around HealthCare.gov," the federal website for Obamacare, according to a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"As part of the 'Tech Surge,' we've added key personnel from the government and private sector, including expert engineers and technology managers. These dozens of people are strengthening and reinforcing the team we have working 24/7 to address the problems around HealthCare.gov," said Julie Bataille.
The experts come from Red Hat and Oracle, and include Michael Dickerson, a site reliability engineer on leave from Google, she said.
It's been almost a month since the website for enrolling in President Barack Obama's signature health care reforms went live. Technical problems, despite a series of advance warning signs, have impeded the system and provoked anger and frustration.

heh heh, won’t be much help. Massachusetts folks still initially enroll on paper for Medicaid.
They knew; and they had to have those policies cancelled to enhance their risk pool, so that they could demand that insurance cover things that are not insurable risks, but instead are ordinary expenses.
So they just lied. They could have said — oh you have a “bad apple” policy and we are rescuing you! That would not fly and they knew it.
So they just bold faced lied.

If these tech titans were hired - where was the advertising and bidding for these contracts. I certainly wasn't able to bid on this work even though I am just as qualified as the people being brought in (many of whom I've worked with in the past).
Seems like the rules apply to everyone but those who are in power.
sub and sup, eh?
Oh...gotta try those!
Less dramatic is the double tt
They have to at least be paid a certain amount. No one really volunteers for the government, union rules.
Throwing more good money after bad. Should be the progressive motto.
I doubt that CGI violated any terms of the agreement. Sounds more like requirements kept changing right up to the end.
For God’s sake, how much is this costing?
They must have had the janitors do the original tech work. Now they’ve called in the monkeys to fix the problem.
If they bring in SAP it's time to start shopping for another country. /s
You remember the stories during the shutdown that Catholic priests who had contracted to the DoD where no longer able to offer communion - even on a volunteer basis - because the gov’t decided it was illegal to volunteer.
The same logic was used on many gov’t employees - they were told not to even attempt to read email, let alone respond, because since they were not getting paid it would be viewed as an act of volunteerism and therefore it was illegal.
Nice to know that when big O is in trouble, the same laws don’t apply to him.

Happy Halloween, Freepers!
Or maybe the tech firms told them the truth that it is a big turd that needed to be flushed and the whole thing needs to be redone and that wasn’t what the White House wanted to hear so the White House fired them.
Everyone’s first healthcare experience with ObamaCare was a stool sample. You had to pass it to see what was in it.
The death knell of any project: creaping requirements.
On the other hand, maybe CGI were hired, not for their talents as a software developer, but for their friendship with the Obamas.
