I have been buzzed myself lately as I see that a service oriented company, such as, can only become successful through its Ninjas. The devotion and the effectiveness of these Ninjas is the main factor that turns a “lost” project into SUCCESS. Our latest Ninja – heroic example is the OAED project.
The client, who else, the Greek Public – OAED “Greek Manpower Employment Organization”.
The objective, very simple: Do everything possible to develop a custom made software solution that we don’t know what exactly is suppose to do, we have it in our minds but no one wants to deal with it and lay down any specs.
Schedule: One year, but we basically want everything yesterday
Cost: 100.000 € (roughly).
… and YES we managed the unmanageable and through our Ninjas we delivered on time our deliverables.
Best regards to our Ninjas programmers then. They are heroic and glorious but not so easily managed and detained, they have their own … Ninja attitude!!!

Given the fact that the project was awarded to Otenet S.A. and Data Concept S.A. is a subcontractor of Otenet S.A., OAED IS NOT and CANNOT be considered as your client.
And OAED would never assign a “lost” project as you - very surprisingly! - consider the in question project.
OAED has provided a team of highly qualified employees to assist and follow up the development of the application. This team has not only written many pages of detailed specs but has also provided solutions to problems your “Ninjas” found as “missions impossible”.
OAED would kindly advise, to spend more time on programming, following the project’s specifications and managing to keep up with the schedule - in which you have great difficulties doing - rather than “blogging”.
No offence Kostas as I am in no mood to quarrel any more than I am a Ninza (ex-Ninza to be exact) but do you really want me to upload some samples of the detailed specs of your colleagues?
Costa, the project maybe awarded to OTENET as you have correcly pointed out, however I don't think that the contractual issues are the ones overwhelming the matter but rather the real facts and the people involved. I am sorry if you got offended, by me blogging.
We have democracy and I am completely entitled to my own views, especially as an active citizen of this country. And believe me, we are prorgamming more than you can imagine !!!
