IBM plans to acquire Taos Mountain, an IT firm that helps companies shift software and data to the cloud, reported The Wall Street Journal's Jared Council, citing confirmation from John Granger, senior vice president of cloud application innovation and chief operating officer of IBM Global Business Services. Terms of the transaction, which is expected to close this quarter, were not disclosed. IBM already has similar consulting services, but acquired Taos partly because of the strength of Taos's partnerships with major public cloud service providers Amazon Web Services (AMZN), Google Cloud Platform (GOOGL), and Microsoft's (MSFT) Azure, according to the report.
