Government IT

 

It’s always been a mess and it gets worse as systems get more complicated.

In the late 1970s and 80s, we were selling project planning systems all over the world, but rarely to Government and not just the British one. They have never developed a culture that believes in standards and systems that are compatible with each other, as civil servants are proud of the fact that they know little about technology.

As an example every police force in the UK uses a different system. Surely for many reasons, they should all use the same.
