If the first time didn’t work, let’s try again with the same company for two more times!
Het kookwetboek was te moeilijk om te integreren, ze hebben dan het hele project maar geschrapt.
Or ‘Tuesday’ as we call it at NMBS/SNCB

how, why? een ezel stoot zich geen 3 keer tegen dezelfde steen?
Ah Phenix, ik moest toen ineens met Linux beginnen werken als proefproject, “want heel justitie ging met Linux werken”.
Niet dus, hoewel ik met Linux geen slechte ervaringen heb gehad voor zolang het duurde, onze tools draaide redelijk vlot, beter dan onder windows 10 nu.

Edit: Spellingscontrole.
Ah yes, project Phenix, or as my law professor liked to call it: “We sure burned it, but it never really rose from the ashes”
The hardest part of the job in IT is finding out what the customer needs. He’s not going to tell you and he’s going to fight you every step of the way when you try to find out.
whO is GoInG to pAY fOR It?
No surprise. Unisys has experience in getting public contracts. They were (and I think they still are) one of the providers of consultants for the European Commission.
They know how to bid for public contracts, and that’s what matters in order to get the tens/hundreds of millions at stake.
It doesn’t really matter they are shit at delivering. As long as their offers hit the key metrics, they’ll keep getting picked.
The fact that it took 20 years of litigation to get a verdict should give an indication on why it failed. Every story has two sides.
Not REALLY lost, somewhere some people are driving around in nice expensive cars thanks to our money.
For 28 million euros I can set up a shared onedrive for the different courts …
“Van Quickenborne belooft beterschap.”

Oef!
>Door de stroef lopende informatiseringsprojecten loopt Justitie tot vandaag digitaal achter. Van Quickenborne belooft beterschap.
dit geeft me eerlijk gezegd wel hoop! Hij heeft het beloofd hé!
I love how “het Journaal” would have spent a good ten minutes talking about the Facebook outage (if their equipment hadn’t ironically crapped out), but this news item literally got 1-2 minutes worth. Glad they have their priorities straight /s.
I wouldn’t be suprised if the people who decided on the company had deals with said company.
