Cirata Strengthens Partnership with IBM through Revised OEM Agreement

Cirata has strengthened its partnership with IBM by signing a revised original equipment manufacturer agreement.

The Symphony data orchestration platform will now be offered to IBM's customer base under a co-branded name, expanding Cirata's reach and potential for growth.

This move marks a significant shift in Cirata's commercial model, as it transitions from direct selling to channel leverage. The company has reported its strongest data integration bookings performance in many years and secured its largest direct contract to date.

The revised agreement is expected to accelerate enterprise AI programmes, according to IBM's statement of direction. This endorsement carries weight with conservative buyers who prefer established vendors.
