But Oregon probably had a bunch if certified business analysts collect and write all the requirements in a water tight manner. If they used certified BA's (maybe they were ITIL certified) the requirements would have been perfectly clear.
But seriously, if Oracle can show that they met the requirements as written, the mess is on Oregon's head. I have seen too many BA's who don't know how to get to the details or how to document requirements properly. Too many bullet pointed excel spreadsheet business requirements out there. I don't have much respect for Oracle at the best of times, but even they can only build what is asked for. And if what is asked for isn't clear, they are supposed to (if they have any integrity) ask for clarification. If the client won't give clarification, they can only build it as best they can.
And at this point, here is where the supposed experience and expertise of Oracle should come into play if all the advertising it produces is worth more than a pile of tried turd: if the requirements are vague and the client can't or won't clarify them, they should have been able to fill in the gaps on their own to make a site that meets the needs of the health insurance seeking online customers. That is why people pay so much for their services, they are supposed to be good and have a depth of experience (or maybe that's offshore hires). But I guess that is what the court case is going to sort out.
Yet people here go on and on about the shirt Putin ISN'T wearing!
Pointing out traits of narcissistic psychosis in the leader of a nuclear capable nation is a good thing.
HOLY MACRO!
