The initial amount spent to create Phoenix was $309-million, according to departmental spokesperson Jullian Paquin.
Phoenix\u2019s origins date back to 2009. It was originally designed to decrease the cost of processing the federal government\u2019s massive payroll.
But the project failed on launch after being rolled out with no project oversight, according to a federal audit. The original price tag provided by IBM to implement Phoenix in 2012 was $274-million.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
