According to the case study and the Santa Clara County Call Grand Jury report none of the above Issue (that cause the failure of the new CAD system) were due to hardware but majority of them were directly related to the application software and the design of the system.

That is why Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury recommended that in future IT project developments City of San Jose management should mandate that representatives from all levels affected by the IT project be included in every stage of specification, development and deployment.
