THE GREAT ROOM IV Mr Paul Matthews, Chief Executive, Institute of IT Professionals NZ (IITP) Few people would deny that software projects fail more than we would like. In fact, depending on how you measure it we still often see more failed or challenged software projects than successful ones. So why do software projects fail and what can we do to change the pattern?
In this presentation,
IITP CEO Paul Matthews outlines recent international and NZ research that
identifies the core reasons software projects fail, and compares that to the
characteristics of price-based procurement versus alternatives such as
Qualification-Based Selection (QBS) to ask the question: does current
procurement methodologies set up software transformation projects to fail? And
is there a better way? | AWARD FINALISTS FIVE & SIX WAITEMATA BALLROOM - WESTHAVEN ROOM TRANSFORMATION OF AN INTRANET MARINE MATE – SAFETY IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

Open Data are often difficult to access and use by the developer community, let alone the average citizen. Citadel on the Move fulfills this need with a convertor to turn simple data files into the format needed for Mobile Apps. And we have built an “App generator” that can easily present these files into a simple application.
This project fits in the policy of the Flemish government to help their local government by offering shared services. | |
