15 July (Part 2) - Axe Axiom?

I don’t like reporting on the inner workings of Bexley Council’s financial maneuvering because accountancy is well beyond my skill set, hence a degree of vagueness if the subject is reported and the possible over-reliance on quotations from Council officers and the like.

Even then I have the impression that their understanding is not a great deal more than mine. Were they speaking in favour of Axiom last week or not? Either conclusion was possible.

And then there is the risk that someone who really does know what he is talking about will make contact and take me apart. Then when that happens can one make a feature of it without revealing the source? How many people in Bexley Council use Axiom for example. Is it so low a number that any published comment might identify the source of the leak?

Well it’s happened and being ultra-cautious all I can say that I have not been taken apart for my ignorance.

“Don’t get me started on Axiom! I wouldn’t mind so much if it was easy to use but the support is atrocious. Finance take no responsibility at all.”

That is probably as far as I dare go. Axiom was thrown out of oneSource (Newham) for not being good enough but Bexley’s favourite son thought it was good enough for us. It would appear that not everyone agrees with him.
