	August 5, 2005 IBM Redefines Best-Of-Breed Data Management With DWL Acquisition by R "Ray" Wang with John Ragsdale, Ian Schuler

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

IBM's Software Group announced its intention to acquire customer data integration (CDI) vendor DWL on August 2. The Enterprise Master Data Solutions group at IBM has been on an acquisitions spree of late, and the acquisition of DWL fills a much-needed product hole in IBM's master data management (MDM) offering. Companies shopping for best-of-breed customer and product data management solutions can benefit immediately from this one-stop shop for these already-integrated products. The MDM market is consolidating, and competitors will have to make similar acquisitions or be left far behind. Expect reciprocal transactions from vendors such as Experian, Oracle, and SAP over the next 12 months.
