016 Over the Horizon? - The UK Post Office Sub-Postmaster Scandal
DDK Pod Episode 16 – Over the Horizon? - The Post Office Sub-Postmaster Scandal. This week, we take a look at a very prominent IT related news story here in the UK. The Horizon system, developed by ICL/Fujitsu Services, had some serious flaws. These flaws resulted in a scandal which, over the course of more than 20 years resulted in many innocent people being sent to prison, lost livelihoods, lost marriages and possibly even the loss of one life. We take a detailed look at how the story unfolded, where things are at the time of recording, and what lessons can be learned for the future of IT delivery. Also covered is our pick of the IT industry news and a few recommendations for our listeners.
