DXC paid 50% more than original contract value for disastrous public sector Oracle project

DXC Technology, a major IT services provider, faced significant financial repercussions after a troubled Oracle project for the UK's public sector went over budget by 50%. Originally contracted for £15 million, the project's costs ballooned to £22.5 million due to numerous issues including delays, scope creep, and poor project management.

Despite these challenges, DXC continued to pour resources into the project, hoping to salvage it, but ultimately, the project was deemed a failure, leading to substantial financial losses and reputational damage for DXC. This case has sparked discussions on the risks of large-scale IT projects and the need for better oversight and accountability in public sector contracts.
