Telkom's billion rand software spending

From what I have heard they are doing the move for good reason. the cost though is another story.
 
Source, close to Telkom you say? Trust me, this article is a lie...
 
I've never understood the crazy cost of software like this. Logically, the price comparison should be against in-house developed software. For R1.2bn you can employ a couple of thousand systems analysts, project managers and developers for a year but you'd need a fraction of that to develop a custom CRM. So with just 10%, R120m, you could setup and run an awesome development team for at least a year if not longer, and even that would be over the top.

A company call sell Telkom their initial software licence for free and still make a mint from all the integration work required into Telkom's multiple systems, followed by maintenance licensing and rework.
