Consulting fees You were never meant to hear the name "Deloitte" and you were never meant to know that the government has wasted $74 billion by working with them. Quietly, Deloitte is one of the largest contractors "building" American government IT systems.
Medicaid enrollment, unemployment insurance, child welfare case management, food assistance eligibility. When you interact with a state benefits system, theres a decent chance Deloitte built it.
In building the 600m row (and growing) database for somaliscan, I sorted through literally millions of invoices, and once name continued to appear; Deloitte. California's unemployment fraud disaster that cost the state $32 billion?
Built by Deloitte. Tennessee kicking 250,000 children off Medicaid?
Built by Deloitte. The billion dollar software project in California that got cancelled after spending the budget?
