All of our major projects are outsourced and some of them are better =
than others. We haven't had any noteworthy IT project failures in =
Pennsylvania that I know of but if we did it would be hard to place all =
the blame on the contractor. We set the requirements and administer the =
contract. If it doesn't turn out well I'd be hard put to put all the =
blame on the consultants. =20
