IBM has announced its acquisition of Systemcorp, a Canadian software vendor specializing in project portfolio management software designed to enhance companies' IT project management capabilities.

2002. IBM acquires Rational for $2.1B



IBM made a significant impact on the software and Web services development industry by acquiring Rational Software Corp. in a deal valued at $2.1 billion, marking the company's largest acquisition since purchasing Lotus Development Corp. in 1995. Rational offers a platform for software development tools catering to J2EE, .Net, Linux, and other environments. This acquisition positions IBM as the industry leader with the widest range of platform support and integrated development environments. In the past, IBM and Rational collaborated closely, integrating Rational's development methodologies and products into IBM's offerings. Notably, Rational also maintained strong relationships with Microsoft, adapting its Rational XDE life-cycle development platform to support both IBM's WebSphere and Microsoft's .Net platform. With this move, IBM strengthens its portfolio of software applications and management products through a robust tools division, aligning with the company's business On Demand strategy. Rational now joins Lotus, Tivoli, WebSphere, and DB2 as key components of IBM's software strategy.
