This is classic DXC. Spend all the original budget on paperwork. Endlessly request contract extensions. Convince the client to put it all on hold. Continue to bill. Fail to deliver. Burn the team never to work there again, but financially it's a bit success for DXC.
What I don't understand is the comments on the article, Oracle taking all the blame, with DXC getting off entirely. Is DXC so bad to not warrant a comment? Yes Oracle has lots of history with over running over budget UK Council projects but still.
Seems to be a recurring theme. DXC has failed to invest in the modern systems and processes needed to deliver cutting edge world class I.T. This strategy worked for years, but now it finds itself at the back of the pack too far to catch up.
And people wonder why DXC are losing contracts and clients hand over fist!!
