MRO acquisition in context:
I.B.M.’s software business, with revenue of $15.8 billion last year, trails only Microsoft in size. The MRO purchase, if approved by shareholders, would be the 37th software company I.B.M. has acquired since 2001. Nearly all the acquisitions have been to push I.B.M.’s software business beyond its traditional strength in mainframe programs.
