Pennsylvania Settles Lawsuit Against IBM

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration says it’s settling a lawsuit against International Business Machines Corp. after suing the company four years ago and accusing it of failing to deliver on a contract for an updated system of processing unemployment compensation claims. In a brief statement Tuesday, the Department of Labor and Industry revealed no terms other than saying that IBM “acknowledged no liability or wrongdoing.” The lawsuit said the technology and consulting giant was paid $170 million on a 2006 contract, but had delivered a failed project by the time the state let the contract expire in 2013. IBM had said the state’s claims had no merit.
