   Accenture executives should just accept that iSOFT in this case is the better software for the UK NHS future system needs. I use it regularly and it is by far the easiest and most reliable system so far.

Offensive or Inappropriate?

   Yes its the Lorenzo system which iSoft promised for delivery to the NHS in 2004 but is now scheduled for 2008. 4 years late. Both Accenture and CSC who are the prime contractors in the North of England are having to pay huge penalties to the NHS as a result of this fiasco.

Offensive or Inappropriate?

   Hmm. Interesting article. Are we talking about Lorenzo or Choose and Book? Delays with Lorenzo have been solely down to the Erlanger upgrade not working! I should know - as was involved in the testing stage.
