Way to go, IBM!

IBM has blamed ex-customer Co-Op Insurance for the crash of a £55m project centring on Agile software development, but admitted the systems it built "would not have" boosted the insurer's top or bottom line anyway.
This is the latest exchange in a £130m lawsuit that was first filed by Co-Op Insurance against Big Blue at London's High Court in December 2017 – after Big Blue walked away from a large-scale upgrade of Co-Op's core insurance systems in a contract signed in January 2015.
Both sides spent this year making legal filings accusing each other of screwing up their commercial relationship and causing the collapse of the project.
At its heart, the Co-Op's suit claims that software written by IBM subcontractor the Innovation Group had so many "deficiencies" that it was not fit for purpose – and had missed its deadlines. The insurer eventually withheld a planned payment, as was reported by the Insurance Post.
