The deal will enhance IBM’s industry expertise and AI solutions portfolio, particularly in regulated industries. Cognitus brings several SAP-endorsed software assets, including solutions for government contracting, contract lifecycle management, data migration, and real-time billing.
Pat Sathi, CEO of Cognitus, noted that joining IBM would allow the company to "accelerate SAP transformation through innovation" while creating new opportunities for employees and strengthening client services.
The acquisition aligns with IBM’s asset-based approach to digital transformation and represents continued investment in building skills for strategic partnerships.
