Armonk, NY

IBM  today announced it has acquired SRD, a privately held company based in Las  Vegas, Nevada, and provider of identity resolution software.

SRD's  operations will be integrated into IBM's Information Management software  organization and SRD products will be immediately available from IBM. Financial  details were not disclosed.

With  this acquisition, IBM is extending the capabilities of its Information Management  software portfolio by bringing new levels of accuracy to identity resolution.  The SRD technology helps organizations increase business insight by delivering  an accurate view into individuals and relationships in real-time --  associations that previously were nearly impossible to discover, enabling a wide range of solutions.

The  acquisition also enhances IBM's business intelligence platform and strengthens  its analytical capabilities by enabling solutions that require the melding of  information stored in a variety of database and drawing out non-obvious  relationships between entities.

"The seemingly simple questions of 'who is who?' and 'who knows whom?' cut across a  wide variety of business problems today," said Janet Perna, general  manager, IBM Information Management Software. "The SRD technology provides  solutions to these age-old problems with unparalleled speed and accuracy."

SRD  software strengthens IBM's middleware portfolio via a multidimensional approach  to analytics that dramatically extends the capabilities of identity-based  applications. The combination provides value to business partners who deliver  business intelligence and other applications that might require a single  customer view, fraud detection, or customer relationship management across many  industries, such as government, banking, insurance and healthcare.

"The  combination of SRD technology with IBM's middleware platform will bring a new  era of accuracy, speed and scale to business analytics," said John Slitz,  CEO, SRD.

The  SRD technology also complements IBM's open computing approach through its  ability to work with both IBM and non-IBM data sources, including Oracle and  Microsoft databases, enabling customers to integrate it with their existing  technology infrastructure. The technology is based on both SQL the Java  industry standard J2EE, allowing developers to more easily develop, deploy and  maintain analytical business applications.

SRD  technology further extends investments IBM is making in support of analytical  solutions, which include DB2 Data Warehouse Edition, DB2 Cube Views and DB2  Alphablox. IBM also enables industry-specific business intelligence solutions,  including the IBM Banking Data Warehouse for financial institutions and the IBM  Crime Information Warehouse for law enforcement.

About IBM's Information  Management Portfolio
There  are more than 60 million DB2 users from 425,000 companies worldwide relying on  IBM DB2 Information Management Solutions. IBM is the only information  management software vendor to provide customers with integrated solutions for  database management, tools, content management, enterprise information  integration and business intelligence.
