Nov. 12 (Bloomberg) -- International Business Machines Corp. agreed to buy Cognos Inc. for $4.9 billion, its largest acquisition, to compete with Oracle Corp. and SAP AG in providing software that tracks corporate performance.

IBM, the world's second-biggest software maker, will pay $58 a share in cash for Cognos, or 9.5 percent more than the closing price Nov. 9. Cognos's so-called business-intelligence programs help companies monitor data on budgets and inventory and analyze whether they are meeting targets.

Ну, как же, Orale приобрел же Hyperion. Как же теперь IBM?

Кстати, это показывает рост к BI-системам.

У SAP есть Business Objects.
У Oracle - Hyperon
У IBM - Cognos
У Microsoft - PerformancePoint Server 2007


С Уважением,
