IBM Strengthens Hybrid Cloud Modernization with Txture Acquisition

IBM has acquired Txture GmbH, a software company from Austria that helps businesses move and modernize their IT systems in the cloud. The deal strengthens IBM Consulting’s ability to help clients plan, migrate, and manage complex hybrid cloud environments more efficiently.

Txture’s tools will become part of IBM Consulting’s Application Migration & Modernization and Cloud Technology Strategy offerings. The software helps teams quickly understand a client’s existing systems, automate assessments, and create better modernization plans. This reduces manual work, speeds up projects, and supports sustainability goals by optimizing workloads for energy efficiency.

Founded in 2017 as a spin-off from the University of Innsbruck, Txture has supported more than 100 cloud transformation projects and analyzed over 50,000 applications worldwide. Its platform helps organizations make clear, data-based decisions and reduce the risks often seen in large IT modernization efforts.

With Txture now part of IBM, consulting teams can guide clients through every stage of their cloud journey - from early discovery to full-scale transformation. Combined with IBM tools like Cloudability and Apptio, this move gives clients a more complete view of cloud value and performance. It’s a practical step toward helping businesses modernize faster and operate more effectively in a hybrid cloud world.
