Finally, some adults in the room

Finally, the administration are getting some real technologists working on the Obamacare website. From Bloomberg:
Google, Oracle Workers Enlisted for Obamacare 'Tech Surge'
Google Inc., Red Hat Inc., Oracle Corp. and other technology companies are contributing dozens of computer engineers and programmers to help the Obama administration fix the U.S. health-insurance exchange website.

The help is arriving as the government�s main site for medical coverage remains plagued by repeated outages a month after its Oct. 1 debut. Michael Dickerson, a site reliability engineer on leave from Google, and Greg Gershman, innovation director for smartphone application maker Mobomo, are among those helping, the Obama administration said today.
Good to see some real IT people checking in... Posted by DaveH at October 31, 2013 1:21 PM
