IBM announced the acquisition of private analysis software manufacturer Alphablox, Alphablox, with approximately 60 employees. IBM plans to embed alphablox software in existing business intelligence tool software. The two sides did not disclose the conditions of the transaction. Founded in 1996, AlphaBlox sold software from enterprise application software to help manage people understand the collected data. The acquisition of Alphablox will be completed this month. This is the 16th acquisition of IBM software departments since 2001, and IBM is the fifth acquisition of strengthening DB2 data management products.
