Comment on NY Pays 230 “Consultants” $722M For Project 7 Years Behind Schedule

Comments

A friend of mine works as a trainer on this project and he does a great job because the software is so convoluted - you need a great trainer.

He likely bills $60/hr to a sub-contractor, who then adds in his likely $100 profit and bills SAIC (the main contractor on this project). SAIC probably bills the city $250/hr for my friend's services!

The numbers are guesses but I spoke to my friend and he said that the vast majority of the billing goes to the main contractor and subcontractors.

At any rate, its a big waste.
