"Projects that are contracted out to large IT consultancies go bad all the time. When they do, it makes zero difference what technologies they were using"
VERY VERY TRUE....
most of the really good software i have ever seen has came from a very small core, often 1-3 folks create the design and the first version then you have to be very carefull to only add more folks when and where they can add value.
the most common failure in management is to think that more hands will make it go faster.
and Acenture has a rather poor history on many other projects.
