Well, that provided a bit of excitement while it lasted. Just finished three shiny video e-business case studies for SWRDA and dutifully sent off the flash files for hosting on their website. A few days later I get an email. ‘ Er, we have a problem Houston. Not a technical one but more of a financial one…..’. Now tell me. You are the CEO of a regional public quango, t/o about £146 million pa, but you can’t find >£100 to give the ICT team to enable them to host a few flash files. I think we should all stand up and ask for a refund, or at least commission an independent audit on the general level of insanity.
