Unisys and Phenix
Much ado about the Phenix project here in Belgium. The Belgian department of Justice closed a deal with Unisys, international IT services provider to develop applications for an integrated case and file management in the Belgian judicial system. The project has so far not proven to be much of a success, and the Belgian goverment has recently cancelled the 22million euro deal because Unisys fails to attain the set out objectives. In response, Unisys has filed plaint for breach of contract.
Belgian minister of justice Laurette Onkelinckx loudly proclaims Unisys as the one to blame, but when hardly any progress has been made in 5 or 6 years I feel both parties will have demonstrated some inertia. I look forward to the outcome of this fiasco, and I wonder whether the case will be pleaded before a Belgian court. Oh sweet irony.
hey
u can’t judge us IT people by your “law” standards
we got a whole other set of rules to follow!
I’ve participed to this project and I ca assure you that 95% of the problem was Unisys’s poor management and the lack of competence of the team leaders and architects…
