In the complicated world of bureaucratic city of Messina, also a software can become an obstacle for the regular payment of salaries and a case symbol of the failure of the administrative machinery . To understand how this machine is jammed, just look at what happened in recent weeks in the Palazzo Zanca, where on 31 December 2015 expired on maintenance service and assistance for economic and financial management software and salaries, run by Invent Engineering Srl.
In an organization with an efficient administrative apparatus, the maturity of a contract would not cause any discomfort or certainly unexpected expenses. So though it was not the city of Messina. Only on December 31, the day of the deadline for the expectation of service to the firm mentioned above, the Secretary / General Manager Antonio Women has formalized the ‘discovery of the new operator, which now INF. OR Srl.
The transition from one manager to another and lead times for the implementation of the new software have caused a temporary blockage of the service, preventing the credit of salaries and sowing panic among the employees of the City and the subsidiaries. The tensions arose for late payment of monthly, destined to become a real state of ‘agitation, has forced the city administration – after an intense exchange of correspondence and several meetings with the heads of the company – to extend the contract to Invent Engineering Srl.
All steps are retraced in determining executive of February 1, signed by the accountant general Antonino Cama , which is underlined “ the opportunity to proceed urgently to a reliance on the Company Invent Engineering Ltd for all activities year-end 2015, which would result in a failure to carry out serious and certainly to the City of Messina . “
According to wrote in the decision, the extension was made then to avoid damage to the institution. Pausing on the economics of the entire operation, however, that view appears to be contradicted by the numbers. The extension of custody to Invent Engineering Srl Until February 29, 2016 (then less than two months) it will cost to the City 28 thousand euro more 6.160,00euro of VAT, for a total of 34,160, 00 € . Figure slightly lower than that the institution will have to fork over an entire year to transfer the service in the hands of the new operator. In determining dated December 31, 2015 and signed by the Secretary / Chief Executive Women, which is established for the acquisition of licenses and software maintenance of the Financial accounting, service and upgrade, the company INF.OR Srl will be recognized for a period of one year, an amount of 39 thousand Euros excluding VAT .
While it is true that the new placement is certainly cost effective for ‘ body, seems equally undeniable that if the City had moved to time, without reducing the final day to locate the new manager of a service as important, indeed vital, not an extension would be necessary to Invent Engineering Srl. Palazzo Zanca could thus avoids having to withdraw from their coffers asphyxiated 34 thousand euro.
The case of software is proof that when the administrative machinery is jammed or not working as it should damage visited upon the citizens.
