If Maude was really serious about waste...

21 Feb 2012

Mmmm. Alleged £31bn waste. Alleged £3.75bn savings. Francis Maude would be in line for a big fat bonus if he worked in the City (Maude cites ICT record as he refutes Whitehall waste allegations)  

What about the small things, like putting Microsoft and Oracle back in their boxes? How about refusing to pay more than 12 per cent per annum on “maintenance” for any government purchase of an off-the-shelf package rather than the current 20 per cent?

Should procurement and project/programme management be part of a new Michael Gove-inspired IT curriculum in schools?

Jaw Dropped
