IBM to acquire Taos to boost hybrid cloud consulting capability
Today IBM announced an agreement to acquire Taos. Headquartered in San Jose, California, Taos is recognized as an industry leader and positioned on the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure Professional and Managed Services.
Upon the completion of the acquisition of Taos, IBM will infuse Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform capabilities across cloud application modernization, migration and managed services. The news follows IBM’s late December announcement of the acquisition of European cloud consulting services leader Nordcloud. As two of the only independent cloud services leaders on the Gartner Magic Quadrant, Nordcloud and Taos will help accelerate IBM’s leadership in the open hybrid cloud services space and enable new cloud transformation opportunities for our clients across the globe.
The company will bring 30 years of experience with leading brands across technology, financial services, healthcare, retail, transportation and education. Taos will add the kind of deep expertise that will drive our clients’digital transformations as well as support the further adoption of IBM's hybrid cloud platform.
We look forward to joining forces with Taos’ CEO Hamilton Yu and his team across North America when the acquisition is complete to help businesses successfully navigate their hybrid cloud journeys, giving them the choice of multiple providers to best meet their business and IT needs.
