Software AG Revenue Drifts Downward Even with JackBe Technology
August 18, 2015
JackBe was an interesting intelligence system. In 2013, Software AG purchased JackBe, and the cyber OSINT brand dropped off my radar. In the 2013 news release, the company explained its positioning in this way:
Software AG (FRA: SOW) helps organizations achieve their business objectives faster. The company’s big data, integration and business process technologies enable customers to drive operational efficiency, modernize their systems and optimize processes for smarter decisions and better service. Building on over 40 years of customer-centric innovation, the company is ranked as a leader in 15 market categories, fueled by core product families Adabas and Natural, ARIS, Terracotta, webMethods and also Alfabet and Apama. Software AG has ca. 5,300 employees in 70 countries and had revenues of €1.05 billion in 2012
With a flurry of management changes, Software AG describes itself this way 24 months after the JackBe deal:
Software AG (Frankfurt TecDAX: SOW) helps organizations achieve their business objectives faster. The company’s big data, integration and business process technologies enable customers to drive operational efficiency, modernize their systems and optimize processes for smarter decisions and better service. Building on over 40 years of customer-centric innovation, the company is ranked as a leader in 14 market categories, fueled by core product families Adabas-Natural, ARIS, Alfabet, Apama, Terracotta and webMethods. Software AG has more than 4,400 employees in 70 countries and had revenues of €858 million in 2014.
Notice that the company is smaller in revenues and staff. There was also a stock market shift. The JackBe technology does not appear to have provided the type of lift I anticipated.
