Long-Duration IT Projects - Failure Causes

Long-Duration IT Projects - Failure Causes

Let us recap the recent failures of large IT Projects in particular.

 

Billion Dollar IT Failure at Census Bureau according to the author Michael Krigsman in the article "IT Project Failures" dated March 20th 2008. (ZDNET)

 

As per the article in NYT, FBI spent $170 million to create a program that would give agents ready access to information on suspected terrorists and found that it's not even close to having a working system. ("DOES NOT COMPUTE - Jan 22nd 2005 New York Times)

The famous 3 project failures at DMV Offices (California DMV in 1987, Oregon DMV in 1993 & Washington in 1997 - Failure Examples IT-Cortex Magazine

Most of the Federal Projects are overviewed by Government Accountability Office and could be one of the reason why the IT industry hear about failed Federal projects only.

Large IT projects are those that have:

 

Duration is more than 3 years

 

Budgeted amount is more than $10 million

One of the main reasons why large IT projects fail is the duration of the Project. The three factors that play vital role during the Project duration are:

 

Technology Challenges:

During the olden days prior to the Client-Server Revolution, most of the IT projects are on a Single-Platform mainly Mainframes using a single programming language depending upon the application. So, even if the implementation of the application is 2 to 3 years away, there is minimum concern about the changes in the hardware/software that they are used at the start of the project. Also, during these days, based on the type of application, the Software/Hardware is chosen. It was pretty clear that if it's a Business Application, then its COBOL and if it is a Scientific application or a Business applications where a numbers a crunched rigorously (like Mutual Funds) then its FORTRAN.

The IT industry went through a volatile revolution since 1990. During the early 90's, most of the applications were developed or re-written in dBase, Clipper or FoxBase. Once the Microsoft fever spread in the IT industry, applications were developed using Visual Basic or "OOPS" methodology. With the Internet Boom came a cocktail of web-based languages and packages. The current trend is to develop in JAVA and other technologies that it supports. Unfortunately, most of these newer software languages behave like Jack-of-All but Master in None.

This volatility of the applications development base creates an uncertainty for large IT projects. As an example, if the Project Manager or Technical Lead decides to use a third-party software for their application then, at the time of Project Implementation, all fingers will be crossed if the third-party files for a bankruptcy or unwilling to support their older versions. At this juncture, let us not even consider maintaining the application for a decade or so. Having spent so much money and time, very few Senior Managers would encourage rewriting it every time the IT industry gets a new Software fever.

 

Economical Challenges:

With this current Global Economics, any country's GDP might be impacted, if there is a small economic disruption in some part of the world. For long duration IT Projects, any economic bad news is a threat. Recently, in US the sub-prime mortgage crisis impacted a number of Financial Institutions which led to a number of layoffs and other strict budget cuts. A long-duration IT Project in this Scenario is sure to be scrapped or kept on-hold.

 

Social Challenges:

During the olden days, most of the IT projects were developed in-house and mostly with their Employees. These Employees are not only well-versed with the daily business procedures but also, are aware of the past Software changes done on those applications. Those were the days where Employees are treated as an asset to the Company and there was loyalty from both the sides. The newer generation brought a completely newer concept - CONSULTANCY Services. These so-called Software Consultants are easily dispensable. Most of the Companies started treating their Employees as a liable partner. This notion is one of the reasons for the initiation of distrust between the Employee and Employer. For long duration IT Projects, disloyal Employees and un-committed Consultants are the biggest setbacks. In a long-duration Project, if the number of Consultants out-numbers the Employees, there is a possibility of Communication distortion. Even the vice-versa is true. As per Standish Group Chaos Report, team communication plays a vital role for the success of the Project.

Detect And Destroy Viruses With Anti-Malware

Detect And Destroy Viruses With Anti-Malware

As indicated in the preceding section, a polymorphic virus can modify each of its many parts. In the past, the detection of polymorphic viruses has called-for a detections algorithm. That algorithm had to be specially developed, so that it could note the presence of each individual virus.computer desk manufacturer

That old approach did not encourage the development of broad-based anti-malware. What computer users really needed was a unified array of software tests, tests designed for use with a different type of antivirus software. They needed tests that could work with polymorphic anti-virus software. Fortunately, software developers have finally become aware of that need.

That explains why a few daring software companies have now joined forces. Together they are trying to improve the technology used for testing software. They are striving to assemble a collection of tests, and to provide the public with a clearer interpretation of test results.

The operators of two websites, Anti-Malware Test Lab and AV Comparatives.org, have initiated development of a group of integrated tests. Each test will provide computer users with an anti-virus solution to malware intrusions, intrusions into a personal computer's registry.

Those two companies, working together, hope to have new anti-malware solutions ready by December of 2008. The release of that software should put an end to the limitations currently facing each computer user. The release of that new software should provide computer users with anti-malware that is based ready to deal with polymorphic viruses.

In order to underline the benefits that the planned anti-malware should deliver, this article concludes by focusing on keyloggers. That is the name for a particular virus, one that captures keystrokes, mouse clicks, file openings and visits to various websites.

At the present time, a computer user must look to three different products, if he or she wants to fight keyloggers. At the present time, a computer user can feel safe from keyloggers when he or she has obtained a firewall, an anti-virus program and an anti-spyware program. The latter two programs must be updated on a regular basis.

Still, those computers users who have spent money on those three products can not always rest easy. Those three products only work against keyloggers the have a known signature. A new keylogger with a new, yet undetected signature will escape the protection offered by those three products.computer desk products

The group that is working on new anti-malware wants to put an end to the countless worries that enter the mind of computer users. They want to develop anti-malware that can handle every type of virus, even the most recently developed virus. They want to develop anti-malware that can fight more than keyloggers.

The group that is now working to improve the existing anti-malware hopes to create a program that can aid detection of hijackers, adware and annoyware. If that group achieves its goal, it will allow computer users to feel free from spam proxies and scam downloads.
