IBM buys PSS Systems

IBM has acquired privately held PSS Systems. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

PSS Systems' software helps organizations analyze, automate and implement information governance policies across electronic business information and dispose of that information in an automated way. These capabilities are critical elements to remaining responsive to legal obligations while reducing data storage costs.

With this acquisition, IBM expands its suite of Information Lifecycle Governance solutions, which include content assessment, collection, archiving, imaging, advanced classification, records management, e-discovery, search and analytics, as well as IBM's storage management and Smart Archive strategy.
