It is part of a long standing spat between the two businesses
Co-op Insurance is suing computer hardware firm IBM for £155m over an apparent failure to deliver a new IT platform for the British financial services provider.
According to technology news site The Register, CIS General Insurance (CISGIL), the insurance arm of the Co-op brand, said that IBM UK had supposedly messed up the Co-op’s Project Cobalt – the insurer’s wider transformation project.
Allegedly, the first stage of the £175m contract had not been delivered by IBM 15 months after its deadline.
However, IBM said in its defence that it had terminated the agreed contract after the Co-op had failed to pay - the insurer is disputing this.
The trial will be continuing for the rest of the month.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
