Uncomfortable news is not like wine. It doesn’t get better with age. Tell them sooner rather than later. If nothing else, it’ll give you more time to work on whatever needs to be worked on afterwards.

The article doesn’t go into enough detail, but a lot of the USAF personnel systems already run on Salesforce platforms (MYFSS), and has been for several years now. Palantir also deployed a data connector between a lot of USAF systems including personnel data last year.

I don’t know all of the details and it certainly looks sketchy, but if the cancelled project started 12 years ago and still isn’t delivered, they may simply be deciding to stop throwing good money after bad and integrate more things onto the platforms they already have and already use.
