BEE not behind eNatis?
28/05/2007 16:17 - (SA)
Dear Editor,
According to the Tasima (Pty) Ltd website, the consortium was formed specifically for the management of the eNatis project by controlling group Face Technologies.
Apparently Tasima is a self-contained business unit operating as an independent company. Thus they are a company completely dedicated to only one project namely managing the eNatis system.
For a BEE company they have an impressive board. Johan Vorster - CEO (arivia.kom) André Appelgryn - CFO (arivia.kom); Fannie Mahlangu (Thuthukani Information Technology Services); Josias Silolo (Thuthukani Information Technology Services); Steven Webster (Webcom Consulting) and Charles Kemp (Webcom Consulting). It's awe inspiring to see so many traditional African surnames on that list.
I bring this up because the whole time I walked around with the smug impression I could blame affirmative action for this balls-up, but I can't. Apparently greed played a bigger part than incompetence in this case.
I work in a highly sensitive IT environment and we never ever, ever opted for a big bang approach when it came to upgrading a current system. As far as I know this type of management went down the drain in the 80s.
Who are they employing at this consortium? Someone should pay penalties for this.
Eben Terblanche
