IBM completes DWL deal

IBM has formally acquired DWL, a provider of customer data integration solutions. IBM says the move will enable it to provide clients with customer data integration software that enables a single, integrated view of customer information spread across multiple product and business silos.

The company adds that this capability allows businesses such as banks, insurance companies, retailers and manufacturers to quickly and consistently leverage their customer data to help address business challenges such as regulatory compliance, optimizing customer relationships or integrating data from mergers and acquisitions.

IBM believes the acquisition significantly strengthens its information management software portfolio, which includes the company's existing product information management software and enterprise data integration software.
