Lauran Matthijsen is a former
computer specialist at the Ministry of Agriculture. He appeared before a
temporary commission on behalf of Parliament, which investigates the many
problems with computers in government bodies. Matthijsen said that every year 5
billion Euros could be saved if the authorities were working properly. 1.3
billion Euros derive from failed projects. The remainder results from computer
projects which have been realized in a far too complicated way, which results
in increased management and maintenance costs. According to him, projects are
being defined in a way that allows suppliers to make huge profits. He mentioned
one system which cost 108 million Euros and could have been done for 4 million
Euros. Matthijsen has mentioned the problems often, but no one ever wanted to
listen to him.
