IBM are buying SPSS for $1.2bn. What does this mean?
Well after they dumped their hardware business and sent out a flare around the importance of predictive analytics is it really too surprising? However the $50 a share they are paying represents a highpoint in SPSS stock which climbed 41% on the back of the news
The way that these guys view this is that SPSS will augment their 'information on demand' strategy. So that means predictive analytics will become part of big businesses day to day working process?
How long before Oracle buys SAS?
Oh my, maybe we are onto something? Big Blue...you know where we are...
