Perry suspends computer services contract

Texas has suspended its contract with IBM because IBM was not able to accurately handle the project which the texas govt has outsourced to IBM.

In a letter to state technology chief Brian Rawson, Perry says IBM "has failed to implement a system of checks and balances that ensures data security." Perry says that's "jeopardizing the ability of state agencies to deliver services to their constituencies."

The huge contract is not being revoked, but Perry spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger says further privatizing shouldn't take place until problems are addressed.
