Fucking Navy. First they waste tons of money on NMCI and then tons more on Navy ERP. I'm amazed anything works.

NMCI is actually quite successful in meeting most of its design criteria. Unfortunately said criteria don't seem to include rolling releases to recent software, or cost effectiveness (the contract seems optimized to ensure you have to go through the help desk for anything and incur a charge).

I can't speak to ERP but I'd be surprised if it were any worse than our existing menagerie of mainframe-based "corporate data" systems that run batch transactions once a day and require tedious manual correction seemingly all the time.
