Biggish Blue has snapped up Sentaca to enhance its hybrid cloud capabilities.
IBM Consulting vice president Steve Goetz said the acquisition will bring Sentaca’s personnel and skills into IBM Consulting, formerly known as IBM Global Business Services.
“Sentaca’s cloud-native application development, testing, and future network capabilities are a great complement to what we’ve been embarking on in the last couple of years. Sentaca specialises in cloud-native, future networking, and automation. We’ve worked in these areas and have skilled people, and have been building our own capabilities for a number of years. So Sentaca is complementary to what we are doing. We believe this will accelerate us in the marketplace.”
Sentaca will remain a separate unit, and will conduct business as “Sentaca, an IBM Company”. Sentaca’s current executive team will continue to lead the company.
Sentaca is IBM Consulting’s 11th acquisition, and the 21st acquisition for IBM overall, since Arvind Krishna took over as IBM CEO in January of 2020, Goetz said.
