There have been a bunch of headlines about the new federal payroll

Interesting.
I have a slightly different take.
Through my wife's work I have had a chance to see lots of government
projects (mostly Ontario) and I have come to the conclusion that the
insistance of project managers to go with safe products like Oracle and
Microsoft and Cisco are the reason lots of projects are off the rails.
Big companies know how to bill and charge for changes but the products
and services seldom come close to the sales pitch.
But nobody will get fired for buying IBM/Cisco/Oracle/Microsoft.....
