Presumably they plunked down the cash to hire an IBM A-level team, not the turn the crank-level most people gripe about.

This is funny because in the uk an A-level team would be a bunch of 19 year olds thinking about going to university.

So I'm still not sure what you intend to say about the quality of IBM

IBM couldn't run Australia's census despite a sizeable budget, and they certainly screwed up Canada's payroll project.

They don't seem to be able to manage any large project, even with an 'A-Team'.

They also fucked the Queensland Health payroll system.... 1 billion over budget.
