First time accepted submitter conoviator writes "The NY Times has just published a piece providing more background on the healthcare.gov software project. One interesting aspect: 'Another sore point was the Medicare agency's decision to use database software, from a company called MarkLogic, that managed the data differently from systems by companies like IBM, Microsoft and Oracle. CGI officials argued that it would slow work because it was too unfamiliar. Government officials disagreed, and its configuration remains a serious problem.'" The story does not say that MarkLogic's software is bad in itself, only that the choice meant increased complexity on the project. http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=NYT%3A+Healthcare.gov+Project+Chaos+Du e+Partly+To+Unorthodox+Database+Choice%3A+http%3A% 2F%2Fbit.ly%2FIbEio3) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F11%2F24%2F1437203%2Fnyt-healthcaregov-project-chaos-due-partly-to-unorthodox-database-choice%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dface book) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/11/24/1437203/nyt-healthcaregov-project-chaos-due-partly-to-unorthodox-database-choice?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
