Financial details of acquisition not disclosed

IBM has announced the acquisition of Encentuate, a privately held provider
of identity and access management software. Encentuate offers enterprise single
sign-on technologies and integration of strong authentication. IBM will
integrate the firm into its Tivoli division. “IBM has made a strategic decision
to acquire Encentuate because customers are increasingly seeking a complete
identity and access management solution with IBM quality and support,” said Al
Zollar, general manager of IBM Tivoli software. A February 2008 Forrester
research report found that the identity and access “management opportunity”
will grow from $2.6bn in 2006 to more than $12.3bn in 2014. IBM also announced
the forming of the IBM Security Software Laboratory in Singapore. The firm said
that the new lab will harness Encentuate’s Singapore development team to better
serve clients in Asia and around the world. Financial terms of the Encentuate
deal were not disclosed.
