11. Introducing Large ICT Systems
Swanwick Air Traffic Control Centre
The consolidation of UK air traffic control at Swanwick’s National Air Traffic Services control centre drew attention to the UK government’s poor track record in attempting to engineer large-scale centralised technological infrastructure, in this case, a combination of people, buildings, software, networks and hardware.... In January 2002 - £623m Swanwick control centre went live, 6 years late and over budget, yet 10 months on a software issue leads to a near miss. The Swanwick story is not a pretty one: as deadlines were missed, costs spiralled, design issues were fudged, and delays piled up. Once the centre was finally operational, a series of system failures brought UK air travel to its knees and propelled Swanwick into the public gaze. More generally, a similar catalogue of woes has struck other high-profile government IT projects. Immigration, passports, pensions, etc. have cost the government billions of pounds in failed systems, prompting Paul Nightingale, a specialist in complex engineered systems, to coin the first rule of building large-scale software systems: “Don’t!”.
