Letter: Information technology failures in modern business
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Tim Kelsey (8 July) is not the first to draw a distinction between a 'computer consultant' and an 'expert'. The first is to blame for all of society's information processing woes, and the second saw it coming all along.
Of course, the solution is to hire the latter in preference to the former. Easy, really.
I suspect that these individuals are, however manifestations of one and the same.
Yours,
