Yet another fleecing

Well, it’s been a while since I had a pop at Aquila, so it must be about time again :)

For a large company who wrote their own software, force you into one supported hardware configuration, enforcing only one supported software layout and who built the delivery mechanism into their own system, you’d think that delivering software would not cause that much of a problem.

Also being an ISO9001/2 registered company you’d think quality would be high on their agenda… but alas, the ISO registration just ensures that business processed are there to delivery quality to the company, not their customers.

Look at the Aquila business model though:

  • Expensive development charged to the customer
  • Deliver crap and charge the customer
  • Fix the crap and charge the customer

Where is the incentive to delivery quality first time. It’s not like they have to worry about competition either.

The following”early design” logo was initially rejected as it was a little too direct.
