The Dutch government wastes annually to five billion euros for ict projects. According to research by a parliamentary commission. According to the commission, knows the government is too little of ict and its ict projects under control.

According to the commission of inquiry, under the leadership of VVD Mp Ton Elias, is the waste of one to five billion euro, an unacceptable amount. It remains to estimate, because it is unclear how much the government actually spends on ict.

The waste is caused by the government, ict projects under control, and lack of ict know. As a result, the ambitions are not fulfilled, writes the parliamentary commission. Also learn how the government is not of errors that are made.

The government ignores the commission considers that often the expertise of its suppliers, while there is a lot more ict knowledge than the government itself. If the supplier is the government warns of ‘avoidable difficulties’ – something that, according to the commission, very little happens – be that warnings are often ignored.

According to the commission, there is ‘ict enthusiasm’, in the politics, where ict is seen as the solution to all problems. Ministers do promises without thinking whether it is feasible to execute that. Also the Second Room to blame: ask to policy without realizing that ict is almost always necessary’. In addition, there is a lack of interest in ict and there are too few Members of parliament who have enough of, ict to know.

According to the Commission, the government should ‘substantially’ occur to the ict-waste under control. So there would be a temporary ict authority’ should be established with the name Bureau ICT review, which determines whether an ict-project a chance of success. Projects where ict plays a role and that more than five million euro budget, would only be with the approval of the ict authority may be made, in the opinion of the commission.
