Submission + - Not just healthcare.gov: NASA has 'significant problems' with $2.5B IT contract (fcw.com) 2

Those problems include "a failed effort to replace most NASA employees' computers within the first six months and low customer satisfaction," the report states.

The IG report states that NASA lacked the technical and cultural readiness for an agencywide IT delivery model and did not offer clear contract requirements, while HP failed to deliver on multiple promises.
