As I'm sure npub16uk4yyw47haxwl0klhh7lcx3qatkyqmpc6gc4hwru3qedaeuueeqqkpv7k (npub16uk…pv7k) will agree, this is because of *how* they do it.
Outsourcing the entire job to one big (usually overseas) company means they have no effective oversight, no incentive to do a good job, and every incentive to go over-budget. What can the govt do but pay, whatever overpriced lemon they deliver?
The few success stories in public IT are ones where they don't do this.
