DII and EDS the future?

EDS have recently been found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation over a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.

Article here.

A few interesting points:

In 2002, BSkyB brought the case against EDS, alleging that claims made by the sales team regarding how quickly, efficiently and cheaply it could install a customer relationship management (CRM) system amounted to fraudulent misrepresentation after the system ran over time and over budget.
Seem familiar?

There has always been a disparity between what is sold and what is delivered
are we getting there yet?

Those who have oversold systems and services in the past and left the technology guys to fill in the gaps are going to be really worried about this ruling.”
Good job this doesn't happen in Defence Procur .... oh bugger!

Moreover, the judge’s ruling was likely to be heavily influenced by the fact that EDS’s key witness in this area – Joe Galloway, who was managing director for CRM solutions at EDS at the time – was shown to have misled the court after he was found to have obtained his degree from the internet.
Galloway was even shown in court to have gained a worse mark in his fake degree than Lulu, the opposition QC’s miniature schnauzer.
for comedy value!
