Run Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Bengaluru: Crawford & Co, a US claims handling company, is suing Cognizant saying the IT services provider failed to staff, manage and implement a software project at the company and caused it significant problems. It is rare for a client to sue an IT firm. Issues are typically settled mutually and there are very few instances when it reaches the courts. In the past, WiproNSE -0.38 % was sued by client National Grid and it paid $75 million to settle the case in 2018. In 2016, Tata Consultancy Services paid $26 million to settle a case with US district Orange County. Crawford’s suit against Cognizant is related to an enterprise resource planning (ERP) project that initially began in 2014 and was plagued by problems that peaked in 2018. ET has a copy of the filing. Cognizant failed to perform as promised under the Work Schedules. And, because the purpose of PeopleSoft Financials was to operate the entirety of Crawford’s finances, the damages resulting from Cognizant’s failure have been severe,” the lawsuit filed in February with the Georgia Northern District Court said. “The combination of poor coding standards and insufficient testing resulted in multi-million dollar revenue recognition problems and a multi-million dollar effect on the bottom line,” ,” the suit added. Crawford said complaints were made not only by Crawford’s project manager but its chief global information officer and its chief operating officer also escalated the pro-blem. “Crawford had worked with Cognizant for years in good faith to implement PeopleSoft Financials. In 2018, as the second phase of implementation experienced greater problems, with no remedy from Cognizant, Crawford tried to resolve the problems with Cognizant’s work,” the suit said. In October 2018, the company told Cognizant it was transferring the work to another provider. The suit further states that in January, Cognizant determined that the problems with the project were ‘excusable’ under the terms of the Master Services Agreement and that the result from actions were beyond its reasonable control. “And even though Crawford disputed the invoiced amounts pursuant to the MSA, Cognizant demanded payment of all but a small reduction within 30 days,” Crawford’s suit states. ..

ekunadam_enkanna Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 That's what happens when you focus on warm bodies and the number of billable hours. End clients should learn from other failures and write tighter contracts to screw these WITCH companies, who abuse the real talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
