All Dutch water boards have the links with Logic disconnected because the completion of a comprehensive system and database is not progressing as desired. The water boards and Logic would have been ‘at war’ with each other life.
Logic would, by January 1, 2009, a comprehensive automated system for the collection of water tax and a common database for the 26 water boards produce. To date, that hasn’t happened and there seemed to be little visibility on improvement, writes the Volkskrant, that finds that again a large ict project of the government is a failure is anticipated.
The schadepost is possible 25 million euro. There would be 11 million euros are paid to Logic and is taken into account with significant costs as a result of the upcoming negotiations and potential legal proceedings.
The umbrella organisation of the water boards, the Waterschapshuis, writes in a report that “the project does not proceed as desired, the delivery of the product is not forthcoming,” and that there was ‘insufficient visibility on the evolution of costs’. Logic would by the staff of the water boards as a geldbeluste supplier’ are considered and also there would be severe criticism on the board and the management of the Waterschapshuis itself, that the state of affairs for too long on its course would have left.
Logic and the Waterschapshuis did not substantively respond. Ict projects of the government have regularly to do with escalating costs.
