IBM to acquire Algorithmics
IBM has announced its intent to buy Algorithmics for $387 million.
"This acquisition expands IBM's business analytics capabilities in the financial services industry by helping clients quantify, manage and optimize their risk exposure across a range of financial risk domains, including market, liquidity, credit, operational and insurance as well as economic and regulatory capital," wrote IBM.
IBM's agreement with Algorithmics reinforces that companies are looking to reduce independent silos to gain an enterprise-wide view of risks for strategic planning, operations and new growth opportunities, wrote IBM.
