I guess all the other “experts” brought in to fix it gave up already, huh?
In the govt nothing succeeds like failure...
more headcount
more contractors
more budget
And since Ben can create unlimited amounts of money, it’s no problem paying for it either.
I won’t be surprised if Obama throws some made up title at Romney and asks him to step into this stinking mess. Hopefully Ann, and the oldest boy will talk Mitt out of what may look like a very tempting offer to save the day.
Microsoft offered to help (screw it up even more).
Oracle has done fraud before. QE 3 and 4 and 5 will be slurped down in a jiffy.
With healthy kickbacks to the elite.
I survived one Oracle fiasco. Good luck Obammy.
The thing should not have cost more than a million bucks.
Everything government does is a clusterobama.
Given how much money and support Obama got from Silicon Valley, I’m sure that all of this tech support is happy to work for free to fix this problem, right? /sarc
Oracle and Red Hat working together.
LOL!!!

‘These dozens of people are strengthening and reinforcing the team we have working 24/7 to address the problems around HealthCare.gov,”
DESPARATION move 101. They are sweating.
The more dozens of people they bring in, the more chaos will ensue; less accountability; just read (as had been posted on numerous threads) the mythical man month. IOW adding more people to a late software project makes it later.
All these experts will have a take on what is wrong and how to fix it. Which will be believed? all of them? none of them?
You can’t fix a software debacle with a committee. You can only fix it (if at all) with someone in charge of the development teams — some ONE. Along with someone from the user / functional end who can deliver understandable, logical requirements.
They are building a tower of Babel; there are no firm, logical, understandable requirements. All the experts in the world can’t fix that. ONE expert could, with the proper requirements, which are sadly lacking, and still changing.
The Titanic at least was an engineered system, a hunk of steel. This is a web of complex uncertainty which cannot be reduced to code.
OK they might manage a passable user interface, to fool the public into thinking there is a system behind the facade that actually works. So far they cannot even do that.
The system that Sebelius during her testimony, refused to shut down for security reasons, was down as she promised she would not shut it down.
Just saying.
They never thought of hiring experts to build it in the first place?
They got a great bunch of amateur work out of an amateur company and it only cost $600 billion.
I could do an even worse job for $1.5 trillion.
>> The experts come from Red Hat, Oracle, and Google
Free market experts working to ensure Socialism...
Thanks guys!!!
Ooh! I just got an idea. Turn the IRS system over to CGI! They need the work.

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.
