ARMONK, N.Y., June 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE:
IBM) today announced it has completed the acquisition of EZ Legacy
Ltd. (EZSource), an application discovery and understanding company
that helps developers understand and visualize software to more
easily modify mainframe applications. Financial details were not
disclosed.
Together, EZSource and IBM will enable clients to unlock
billions of lines of application code residing on z Systems to help
accelerate companies' adoption of hybrid cloud. The combination can
help developers identify and change parts of applications that are
candidates to connect into the hybrid cloud via application
programming interfaces (APIs). IBM's strength in digital
transformation, API Economy, hybrid cloud and enterprise DevOps is
complimented by EZSource's capabilities to understand and analyze
applications. The infusion of EZSource's technology into the z
Systems portfolio will help clients more rapidly discover new ways
to take advantage of the mainframe.
"The IBM mainframe is a foundational technology for digital
transformation. Today's developers can drown in the sea of complex
application code," said Ross Mauri,
general manager, IBM z Systems. "EZSource's application discovery
technology makes it fast and easy for developers to understand and
extend those applications at the speed of business."
"As we integrate with IBM, the ability to extend our technology
expertise to the z Systems portfolio while taking advantage of its
global presence will help us reach more clients as they work to
modernize their computing infrastructure," said Eran Tirer, CEO, EZSource.
