IBM has announced the acquisition of SRD, a privately held developer of identity resolution software based in Las Vegas in an all cash deal. Under the terms of the acquisition SRD's operations and products will be integrated into IBM's Information Management software division. SRD's technology, based on SQL and Java J2EE, is designed to work with IBM and non-IBM data sources, including Oracle and Microsoft databases, enabling customers to integrate the software with existing infrastructures.
Sounds a bit like the old Metamerge - now tivoli directory integrator - (funded by RVC and aquired by IBM in 2002).
and BMC just acquired Calendra, a French start-up focused on Directory based applications.
