RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – IBM, its focus primarily now on cloud computing and artificial intelligence, has sold its i2 intelligence analysis product portfolio to Harris.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
IBM, which late last year spun off its services group in a new company known as Kyndryl, offered three i2 products:
- i2 Analyst’s Notebook
- i2 Enterprise Insight Analysis (EIA)
- i2 iBase platforms
“The acquisition positions Harris to further deliver mission-critical applications for national defense, state & local law enforcement, maritime security as well as evidence management,” Harris said in Tuesday’s announcement.
“i2’s advanced analytics and intelligence analysis tools, such as the industry leading i2 Analyst’s Notebook, help analysts transform data into decisions in near-real-time, uncover hidden connections with visual displays, and turn overwhelming and disparate data—regardless of the source—into actionable intelligence.”
Harris is part of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX: CSU).
“Resilience and collaboration have never been more critical for organizations as they confront the increasing complexity of intelligence analysis. We’re committed to addressing those needs by offering the most complete end-to-end intelligence analysis portfolio on the market” said Jamie Caffrey, Program Director at i2 Group, in a statement. “The convergence of data and processes is transforming the industry. By integrating i2 into their existing networks, customers will be able to better leverage their data and will be empowered to unlock valuable insights that can translate into business success.”
