A customer of mine decided they needed some digital displays for their mall. As part of the deal, they decided to replace our Internet ($500/month) with a fiber circuit ($2,500/month)... because we were "too expensive" and redo the WiFi we installed for something like $50k because there were a "few dead spots." Even though we were specifically told not to cover those areas. Total cost of contract to new vendor? $2.2 million. They fired the IT consultant we had been working with and replaced him with the new vendor. After months of not being able to get just about anything to work, they re-hired the IT consultant and kept us and expanded our role. After the IT consultant warned for months the digital displays were insecure, the person in charge of them did nothing. So, today, everyone in the mall was greeted with porn on the monitors. Needless to say, the guy in charge of the project is finally being fired.
