A month after SAP announced it was buying Business Objects, IBM has now announced it will acquire Cognos for $4.9 billion, or $58 a share.
The two companies already had an alliance where they served customers such as the New York City Police Department and Canadian Tire Corp., according to a statement today.
IBM said the all-cash deal was subject to shareholder approval and should close in the first quarter of 2008.
