Re: Outgoing head congratulated for role in division's transformation

This is the general criteria for promoting management at Capita.

While at Capita I was told by my client that I was the first to do a commendable job... And they feared (correctly) that I would be fired for it...

Re: "a brutal programme of cuts had left staff struggling"

I beg to differ, because while they render fewer and poorer services, they do so with tremendous waste and cost to themselves...

As an InfoSec manager I've personally seen them spend 600,000 GBP to IBM for the monitoring of... ZERO servers!

Yes, that's correct. You can't begin to understand the level of disfunction required to make that not only possible, but go years unnoticed, and then defended so that it may continue...

As a former Capita InfoSec manager I can confirm they are indeed doing a decent job at fewer and fewer things...

Reading that Capita ITS is handling critical government infrastructure is deeply worrying. I wouldn't trust them to set up a laptop. (and in fact during 3 months of employment they had to rebuild my laptop 5 times, it never worked...)
