Canadian semiconductor company Tundra has slated IBM for failing to deliver on a development project.

Earlier this month, Tundra terminated a major development project with IBM after the project failed to improve its weak sales. Tundra expressed its disappointment, saying it had promised to spend $15.4 million in three years to help the IBM effort, but that IBM products were far below Tundra’s expectations.

The companies have worked together in the past, and the problem was totally unexpected.

Tundra was reportedly unhappy with the entire development of the product, including data processing and its speed of movement to next-generation networks.

IBM spokesman Mike Boden defended the company, saying IBM had met all its contractual obligations with the Canadian company. He refused to comment further.

Tundra chief executive Daniel Hoste complained of deadlines not being adhered to. He added that the decision to break off was a tough one to take for Tundra, and that the company had tried to sort out the situation amicably. X
