I have worked for 3 different S/W Cos. and tried in vain to upgrade Gov't. systems...

I have been to Albany, Corning Tower, repeatedly to no avail.

They'd rather spend $$$ on Departmental Meetings in Aruba, Antigua or the Bahamas.

This is still the case to this day.

I DID manage to close a contract w/NYS Police, but not before I received the Colonel's approval. Deal value was $1.8M. Anything above $2M has to go to the Gov.
