You forgot to mention probable political infighting. And maybe
inexperienced leadership. My favorite snippet from the article is:
Dr. John Halamka, the former emergency-room physician
who runs Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's gigantic
computer network.
Is a physician, after years of medical school, internship, residency,
etc. the right person to be in charge of a "gigantic" computer network?
Are arteries and veins the equivalent of fiber and CAT-5?
I'd love to be the Cisco rep selling $3 million of new network equipment
to this guy. What is the probability that he as ANY idea what "spanning
tree protocol" means?
