IBM said Monday that it’s bought UrbanCode, a Cleveland concern that automates software delivery and is good at releasing and updating mobile, social, Big Data and cloud applications. Terms were not disclosed.
Its technology is supposed to reduce the cycle time it takes to get updates or new applications into market from months to minutes, IBM says. It’s designed to reduce cost and risk, while enabling a company to rapidly incorporate feedback into the overall quality of their applications and services.
IBM describes UrbanCode’s software as a natural extension of its DevOps strategy, designed to simplify and speed the software development and delivery process for businesses.
