The reason this happened is the utter contempt the UK shows towards IT. The Victorians had the right idea - change things. The UK needs to accept that change is good. And since 1st January that is much easier.

When I was in a company that did contracts for them back in the 80s, they always added a significant percentage to the estimated cost on the grounds that there would be various cockups requiring significant changes. Recall them complaining that a function was about 3 lines longer than their arbitrary limit, the fact that it performed the necessary task as succinctly as possible was irrelevant.

That's assuming they are using a proper database and not some NoSQL bullshine.

Re Fujitsu. My view of them may be skewed by how a public sector client I was contracting at used them to outsource a CRM 'solve all our problems' solution () that quickly became very expensive and undeliverable resulting in der management outsourcing the whole IT dept. I'm sure it turned out all right in the end.
