DisputeSoft was engaged as a software expert by Affiliated Computer Services Inc. (ACS) in October 2007 in the matter of Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County v. Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. before the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville.

The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (the County) hired ACS to create and manage a traffic violation computer software system in July 2004. The parties signed a contract on July 28, 2004, in which ACS would develop a “Traffic Management System and Implementation Services” for the Traffic Violation Bureau (TVB), including all of the County’s requirements discussed in the software project’s Request for Proposals (RFP). In the spring of 2005, TVB identified functional deficiencies with the software system, which the County claimed were misrepresented by ACS in its RFP response. ACS claimed that its RFP responses were accurate and that the County’s deficiency claims were the result of out-of-scope enhancement requests and lack of engagement by certain TVB employees. On June 24, 2005, the County ended the project, and ordered ACS to stop working on the software system. On September 28, 2006, the County formally terminated their contract with ACS.
