I along with my team was part of this project, the Lahore SafeCity project, working closely with BES to deliver the required technology. I had a lead role in most of the projects and was familiar with all of their workings to a good extent.

I clearly remember going to give a demo of one the systems and at the end of it the British Consultant belonging to ARUP consulting firm told the Huawei software team in a passing remark "lets meet later and i`ll teach you guys about version control". Thats how I came to realize that the Huawei team may have hardware expertise, but the people they had working at SafeCity Lahore were not very competent at software.

Midway through our engagement some members of the Punjab Police (government) informed us that the Huawei folks were taking our documentation for various projects and shopping around for cheaper quotes. This is where things started going really sour.

Aside from this we encountered many other hurdles from Day 1 and the overall process was very unpleasant to say the least.

So how is it different from the usual behaviour of any large corporation?
