Numeric Trix on Pust fiasco embarrassing for the police - Computer Sweden

Gunpowder smoke starts to add after the blast for just over a week ago. Police investigation support Pust, built on Oracle’s Siebel CRM platform, are dropped. The pressure from the organization at national police chief Bengt Svenson finally became too great and he took the easiest route and decided simply to pull the plug. A reasonable decision, apparently.

Class=”paragraphIntro”> But it is too early to summarize the debacle. A piece of the puzzle is still missing: how much that has cost taxpayers. The police were certainly quickly looking Pust-announcement and gave an answer to that question – SEK 85 million , it was said – but that figure is every reason to doubt.

At the risk of that it gets a little confusing, I’ll try to go through the figures that have been present so far.

class=”paragraphIntro”> We’ll go back to the pilot study, which is the basis for all the chaos, it was written by an Oracle consultant in September 2011, the sum of the introduction to between 72.3 and 73,800,000 crowns . “Approximately”. The calculations are among the more contrived it seen, but that’s another story. Comes with license cost of the software itself 7 million with additional support costs at 1.5-1.7 million per year.

class=”paragraphIntro”> Now spins we the clock to the end of May 2013. The project has since been underway for nearly 1.5 years, of which roll out in six months. Now the alarm reports from the field started to hail in and then cio Ola Ohlund is self-critical in an interview with Computer Sweden. Here he announces that the project went over budget and so far cost more than SEK 70 million .

class=”paragraphIntro”> next strike is in August 2013, three months later, when the police are forced to take steps to rebuild the system. Then say the National Police for Computer Sweden that the system thus far has cost SEK 126 million and is estimated to cost an additional SEK 50 million until the end.

Then it happens strange: the cost is starting to reverse.

class=”paragraphIntro”> Shortly before that turn of the year, in December 2013, state police told TT that system cost SEK 123 million . Not just 53 million less than forecast, said in August, but even 3 million less than the accrued cost in August. Amazing.

class=”paragraphIntro”> And so on closure decision last week, in the middle of February 2014, the cost has thus shrunk further, to 85 million chronograph r Which curiously enough happens to be very near the questionable figures from Oracle’s feasibility study.

class=”paragraphIntro”> When Computer Sweden asks Police say that the difference is due to the platform’s license cost shared with other systems within the Police. Which it certainly does, Siebel also used for weapons handling system Pär and CMS DS.

class=”paragraphIntro”> But is it something Oracle has an eye on it’s licensing costs – and that of an event are clearly specified in the infamous feasibility study report, I have it in front Me:

class=”paragraphIntro”> National Police pay total 20 million per year in license for Siebel and around five million in support. Pusts share is one third of that.

class=”paragraphIntro”> So whether Police in its various statements unreasonable enough figured out the full Oracle’s invoice during Pust umbrella will not address in the amounts indicated.

class=”paragraphIntro”> Something smells musty here.

class=”paragraphIntro”> police must take speak out and report to taxpayers exactly how much this fiasco has cost. (That is in addition to the 100 million that were cast into the lake when the “old” Puff platform was closed.)

And if none dare to make it official there is sure police employees with courage enough to surf to https://tipsa.idg.se and upload documents to us.

class=”paragraphIntro”> question is who time first.
