Good luck! One of my clients contracted Tata to do a system for them.
This was a small system. Had I been asked, I would probably have done
it for between $20k and $50k (the latter figure is extreme) and finished it
in three or four months. Tata took 5 years, charged $5 million, and the
maintenance fees are $350k/year, plus they are many months behind on
bug fixes. I did Y2K remediation on the previous system, which was old,
and crummy by my standards, but the Tata system is so bad that the user
department has been foaming at the mouth to get the old system back.
