The Education Authority (EA) in Northern Ireland has decided not to proceed with a contract with Fujitsu worth almost £500m.
The contract was to provide a new IT system for all schools in Northern Ireland.
The Japanese firm has faced criticism for its role in the Post Office scandal.
Fujitsu created the faulty Horizon software which wrongly calculated money was missing from Post Office branches.
