EUROPA - IDABC - Germany freezes development of its employment portal:
On 25 February 2004, the German Federal Labour Office (Arbeitsamt) announced it was freezing its job portal development plans due to skyrocketing costs. Although the original costs were evaluated at EUR 65 million, new estimates indicate the portal would cost EUR 165 million up to 2008.
Yikes! Asking 65 million for a portal is bad enough but planning it so badly you end paying 165 is almost unimaginable. I admit planning It projects is hard but this is just silly.
