IBM Acquisitions Urbancode: Enhanced mobile application deployment capabilities

IBM said in Monday that the company would acquire DEVOP (development and operations cooperation) solution provider http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/4415.html ">urbancode, Means IBM wants to work with development and operations teams to design and deploy software more quickly.

Urbancode, headquartered in Cleveland, has developed software that can help automate the production and delivery of new applications. The parties did not disclose the terms of the deal, but Randy Newell, the marketing director at IBM's software department, Landy Newville that 50 of Urbancode's employees would be members of the rational team at IBM's software division.

According to the IBM statement, Urbancode will be well matched with its Worklight mobile application development platform: "Integrating Urbancode software with IBM MobileFirst Worklight technology means Businesses can now create and deploy an application for any mobile device in a matter of hours, rather than taking days as it used to. Urbancode solutions are also compatible with traditional applications such as middleware, databases, and business intelligence. ”

Traditional IT giants such as IBM are trying to find ways to reduce the cost of development processes, especially mobile and cloud applications, in the hope of better competition with startups.

IBM has applied the DEVOP concept in the planning, development, testing, deployment, monitoring and feedback phases, and urbancode is well suited to the DEVOP concept of IBM during the development phase, Newell said. IBM acquired the Greenhat company last January, supporting its DEVOP concept in the field of testing, and the acquisition of Tealeaf last May was reinforced by the concept in the feedback field.
