Logicon had been hired by the Department of Information Technology for $93,000 in June 2000 to write a "white paper" analyzing various approaches to buying software licenses on a large scale. The company delivered a draft analysis, but never finalized the paper because the state showed no interest in the draft, said Neil H. O'Donnell, a San Francisco attorney representing Logicon.
Logicon was never paid, and that contract was formally severed in November 2001, he said.
What is the State getting exactly for the millions?
Was there to be an application to be written using Oracle?
Were there already some existing Oracle Data Base applications running?
Looks like there was some incompetency in the technical ranks!
