Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

What a debacle!!!

Mike Sicilia vows to Congress that we will get the Veterans Affairs EHR project back on track. Started out as a $10B project and now 4 years later after huge delays and cost overruns the project has cost $16B and costs still are increasing d and it is still not useable !!!

On top of that the failed EHR system has been deemed to be the cause of many sustained injuries to veterans in Spokane.

WOW - you got to be kidden to have a mess like this...!

Congress says either some progress has to be seen very shortly or they will cut it off early 2023.

How can a project get so completely out of control?? This is a highly visible project that can work either as a great benchmark or an even bigger anchor.

How come Safra or LE is not taking direct ownership and single point of contact on a project like this and driving to success? This would seem to many to be the logical next step... unless of course we are just asking to be dragged around in the mud.

Anybody remember the OBAMACARE website fiasco?

I suspect it's just that the deadline Congress set is now approaching in next couple of months.

Maybe was just a heads up as to what potentially could be coming shortly, especially if they really do shut it down.

This was something he vowed back in July. Is there something more recent?

Clear this was not started by Mike ( or anyone else at O) - we know this was a Cerner deal but is now one that O will now take responsibility for...

It' should be obvious to everyone why Safra is not involved ( or LE) which is simply if the plug is pulled next Q1 on this project, ( or this winds up being a noose around our neck) then a scapegoat is needed.... Hello Mike!!!
