These acquisitions further solidify IBM’s commitment to helping businesses leverage data and integration technologies to drive innovation and enhance digital transformation initiatives.
This move by IBM is expected to create new opportunities for customers seeking comprehensive solutions for their data integration and application integration needs. By combining the strengths of IBM, StreamSets, and webMethods, organizations can expect enhanced data management, increased efficiency, and improved agility in their operations.
