I work in the software business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And among people who work in the business, the word was going around well over a year ago; “MNSure” was going to be a Bulgarian Goat Rodeo.\u00a0 At the very least.<\/p>\n

The word was more than right; in fact, according to Deloitte Consulting, it sailed past Bulgarian Goat Rodeo, and is more of a Hungarian Cluster Cuddle<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is the point of the blog post where I’d find one or more excerpts from the report that summed up what a complete FUBAR the whole project has been.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But there is just too much<\/em> in the report.\u00a0\u00a0 If I quoted everything damning in Deloitte’s report, I’d be driving a tank over the “Fair Use” laws.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So I urge you to read it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Remembring, of course, that Deloitte was one of the firms that was beaten out by “Maximus”, the firm that actually “built” MNSure.\u00a0 Now, a smart state government IT operation would have engaged Deloitte as a disinterested third party to serve as a reviewer on the condition that they not bid for re-development work, to avoid conflict of interest.\u00a0 I don’t actually know if the state was that smart.\u00a0 Any bets?)<\/p>\n

But in any case, read it.\u00a0 And then take a look at the Strib’s piece on the subject<\/a>, which carries nothing but the Messinger<\/del> Dayton administration’s spin on the top-level issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
