£58million problem at Southwest One - Should Barnet be looking more closely at Its Outsourcing Strategy

According to a report on BBC Points West the problems at SouthWestOne, where they have outsourced services to IBM, seem worse that first thought. According to Cllr Ken Maddocks, Leader of Somerset County Council, by tearing up the contract they have with SouthWestOne they could save £58 million. I know I had to do a double take as well. Listen to what conservative MP Ian Liddell-Grainger has to say. I hope that every Barnet Councillor has read the details of what has happened here.
