| June 27, 2006 Laboratory Informatics Weekly Update | Volume 4, Issue 26 | | In This Issue | LIMS Blog Postings | LIMS Project Failure - an excellent report on the cause I recently wrote a blog on the failure of the LIMS at the FBI and provided a link to the article in the newspaper that reported the failure. Now the US DoJ, Office of the Inspector General Audit Division, has released, what I would consider, a very excellent and thorough report which provides an analysis of the cause and the recommendations. You can read more and view the entire report here.
FBI cancels LIMS contract with JusticeTrax - Here we go again... Is the FBI jinxed or what? It seems like only yesterday that I wrote a blog concerning the FBI's failures on another large IT project. Granted 2 points do not make a trend but something is really wrong here.
