Agreed. The problem lies with DOIT, the Department of Information Technology, which was created to protect the state from such deals. Unfortunately its head was a political appointee whose selection was based on his ability to deliver votes, not to understand software contracts. The state is doing away with DOIT. When that was first announced, the head of DOIT was pleading with software companies for funds to fight the department's closure!
