Cisco sues Hewlett-Packard over VoIP contract

Cisco's lawyers at Winston & Strawn claim in a lawsuit that HP is refusing to pay a US$58 million balance.

The contract that is the basis of the dispute dates back to 2012, when Cisco agreed to provide support for HP’s VoIP service that was purchased by an unidentified HP customer. The customer subsequently cancelled its HP service, with HP in turn cancelling its Cisco service in 2013. The cancellation entitled HP to early termination credits applied to its remaining balance. But Cisco determined HP still owed US$58m after the credits were applied. HP responded that the company is entitled to “full credit” and should not have to pay anything. Cisco claims HP is now seeking credits that amount to more than what HP owes. Sources: Network World; The Recorder
