At IBM Consulting, we combine human expertise with digital assets – in the form of assistants, agents, and applications – to help our clients modernize, transform, and realize value faster. Today, I am pleased to share another step forward in that journey as IBM announces the acquisition of Txture GmbH, a company whose software assets help businesses migrate, modernize, and optimize their hybrid cloud estates.

Enhancing cloud transformation capabilities

Txture brings powerful assets that complement IBM Consulting’s Application Migration & Modernization (AM&M) and Cloud Technology Strategy offerings. By integrating Txture into our IBM Consulting Advantage platform, we’re extending our leadership in hybrid cloud transformation and enabling our clients to realize value more rapidly.

By adding Txture’s capabilities to IBM’s existing offerings, our consulting teams will be able to:

• Quickly understand a client’s current IT systems and decide the best modernization plan by automating the early analysis and accelerating the execution of cloud projects.
• Reduce manual work and improve quality of outputs.
• Make more informed data-driven recommendations.
• Develop client roadmaps that support sustainability and reduced IT carbon footprints.

The acquisition will enable IBM Consulting to save clients time, and deliver value faster in a secure, hybrid cloud environment.

Delivering proven experience and innovation

Founded in 2017, Txture is headquartered in Innsbruck, Austria. Txture is a spin-off of the Institute of Computer Science of the University of Innsbruck, where intensive practice-oriented research in planning and transformation of global IT landscapes has been conducted since 2009. Being close to the University gave Txture access to top talent and research, helping them create software that guides clients through cloud transformation.

It has enabled more than 100 cloud transformation projects worldwide and processed over 50,000 applications through client engagements, helping global system integrators and enterprise clients accelerate transformation and improve quality outcomes.

This is more than an acquisition—it’s a strategic step forward in our asset-led consulting strategy. Txture’s automation and recommendation capabilities reduce manual effort, enhance output quality, and enable our consultants to deliver faster, data-backed results. Together, we’ll empower clients to make better decisions, accelerate time-to-value, and modernize with confidence.

Building a complete cloud value management ecosystem

With Txture joining IBM, our consulting teams will be empowered with a comprehensive platform for end-to-end cloud value management. Whether it’s Txture’s assets strengthening the early discovery and planning phases of cloud journeys, or leveraging IBM’s Cloudability and Apptio products, we are uniquely positioned to guide clients through every phase of their cloud transformation journey—with speed, control, and confidence.

At IBM Consulting, we’re not just transforming technology. We’re helping businesses transform themselves—guided by data, empowered by assets, and driven by purpose.
