A DEAL WHICH MEANT the state of California spent millions of dollars on Oracle software for non-existent employees is to be investigated by the Department of Justice. Two days ago, a report to the Californian legislature issued a report saying that the state had ordered database software for 270,000 state employees when it only had 230,000 employees on its staff.
The order was made by an employee who previously worked for Oracle, and a consultancy was awarded $28 million for brokering the deal, reports said.
But now according to the Mercury News, the deal will be investigated by the Department of Justice, which wants to know why an order was placed for more than $120 million.
The rationale for the deal was that the software would save Californian taxpayers $111 million over the next 10 years.
This paper says that the consultancy, Logicon, had made secret side agreements with Oracle which accounted for its big bung.
