Another pending disaster

With the recent track record of the BCC implementing computer systems, I question the wisdom of this move. The "Voyager" accounting system left 30,000 unpaid invoices to firms supplying the council with goods. Some suppliers threatened the council with bailiffs in order to get money owed. Prior to this was their abortive attempt to install 200 Linux PCs in libraries, all of which were subsequently installed with XP, owing to lack of technical knowledge on the ways of Linux.
