IBM has agreed to acquire privately held Webify for an undisclosed sum.
Webify delivers industry specific building blocks for creating Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) in healthcare and insurance sectors. Its pre-build service components allow enterprises to more quickly create business services.
"[Webify] brings these assets that are very much industry specific assets and that add value to an industry as they start to build these next generation composite applications, and as they start to deal with their industry standards that are making up their industries," IBM's general manager of WebSphere Robert LeBlanc said in a conference call.
