IBM owes $1.6 billion for BMC Poaching | Gestalt IT Rundown: June 8, 2022
IBM finally lost a court case this week and nows owes BMC $1.6 billion. Why? Well, the reasoning is that IBM stole one of BMC's biggest customers - AT&T. IBM had been providing service on behalf of BMC for a number of years and had a very specific agreement that they wouldn't try to convince BMC customers to go directly to IBM. In this particular case BMC says that IBM violated that agreement back in 2015. IBM countered by saying that this whole thing was AT&T's decision and IBM in no way did anything to encourage it. The judge didn't see it that way and now IBM is going to appeal this little fine. All this and more on this week's Rundown. Head to gestaltit.com for show notes.
