If you think about the cost of hiring people to administer the system, store the data, maintain servers, the building the servers are in, and the profit IBM needs to make I am sure they will keep most of the $$ from the draws if not all of it. It probably cost a little to set up initially but is likly a cash cow now. I have been part of a few IT projects at work, never on time, always way more expensive than they were originally going to be, and no one can do a thing about it because its only a handful of people that know what is going on with the program, IT is the perfect racket.
