Judge denies Indiana claim over failed IBM project
303 days ago
By CHARLES WILSON
Associated Press
(AP:INDIANAPOLIS) A judge has ruled that Indiana cannot collect millions of dollars it claims IBM owes over the state's failed welfare system overhaul but says IBM is entitled to payment for equipment the state kept.
Marion County Judge David Dreyer issued the order Wednesday.
Dreyer presided over a trial earlier this year of dueling lawsuits concerning the state's cancellation of IBM's nearly $1.4 billion contract with the Family and Social Services Administration.
Gov. Mitch Daniels killed the IBM contract to automate the state's welfare system in 2009, less than three years into its scheduled 10-year span, following wide-ranging performance complaints.
Indiana initially sued IBM for $437 million, which was later reduced to about $170 million. IBM countersued for about $100 million that it claimed it was owed.
