IBM acquisition of webMethods from SoftwareAG

IBM completes acquisition of webMethods from Software AG to strengthen integration, API and hybrid cloud capabilities. In mid-2024, IBM completed the acquisition of webMethods from Software AG, following the signing of a definitive agreement in late 2023 and receipt of all required regulatory approvals. webMethods is a leading enterprise integration and API management platform that enables organizations to connect applications, data, services and business processes across cloud and on-premises environments. By bringing webMethods into its portfolio, IBM significantly enhances its capabilities in application integration, API management and hybrid cloud integration, helping clients to unify their IT landscapes and accelerate digital transformation. The acquisition builds on a long-standing relationship between IBM and Software AG and reflects IBM’s strategic focus on AI, hybrid cloud and automation. Alongside webMethods, IBM also acquired StreamSets, a data ingestion and DataOps platform, providing comprehensive tools for managing the flow of data and integration across modern IT environments. For IBM’s customers and partners, the addition of webMethods delivers one of the most advanced integration platforms in the market, with broad support for B2B integration, API management, event-driven architectures and cloud-native deployments, making it easier to modernize applications, manage APIs and support hybrid multi-cloud use cases. This strategic acquisition positions IBM to help organizations tackle the increasing complexity of distributed systems and the growing demand for real-time connectivity, laying a foundation for future innovation in automation, data-driven AI and seamless application ecosystems.

New contract with UNIQA Österreich Versicherungen AG
