"Colorado's Division of Motor Vehicles is dropping its CSTARS program after six years and spending $8,000,000 of taxpayers' money. The new computer system, designed by Avanade, was developed to register vehicles in the state, but, there were several major issues with the project. The vendor fired the subcontractor in charge of seeking advice from the state and had developers writing computer code before they were given plans for what that code should do. The state hardly made things any easier as the old computer system had been in place for over twenty-four years. When the new system was switched on, at least four motorists were pulled over by police and informed that their license plates did not match their registration. P.J. Taylor, head of Broomfield's motor vehicle division, said, 'It's like you were having a baby, and it turned out to be ugly.'"
