ROCKET SOFTWARE ACQUIRES B.O.S. TO SIMPLIFY MAINFRAME MODERNIZATION AND
ACCELERATE HYBRID CLOUD STRATEGIES

06 September 2023
Acquisition bolsters company’s mission to help customers modernize in place
without disruption
Press Release

WALTHAM, Mass. — September 6, 2023 —Rocket Software, Inc. (“Rocket Software”) a
global technology leader that develops enterprise software for some of the
world’s largest companies, today announced it has acquired B.O.S., a leading
German-based software company that provides data integration solutions. B.O.S.’
flagship product, tcVISION, now called Rocket Data Replicate and Sync, will join
Rocket Software’s portfolio of modernization products that add scale,
flexibility and security to an organization’s existing infrastructure. The
combination of Rocket Software’s existing solutions and B.O.S.’ technology will
allow Rocket Software to offer its customers more complete solutions to their
mainframe data modernization challenges. This proprietary technology means that
organizations can leverage advanced tools, including machine learning and
analytics engines, in cloud environments using mainframe data in real time
without needing to rewrite all their applications to run on the cloud. Further,
this technology makes training generative artificial intelligence (AI) models
easier by leveraging a business’ mainframe data.

The mainframe holds an estimated 80% of global enterprise data and remains a
critical system of record for organizations. The data held in mainframes is an
invaluable source of insight for businesses across financial services, retail
and healthcare, as well as major government agencies. However, to operate most
effectively, the mainframe must be modernized to integrate with the public and
private cloud, which offers advanced analytics capabilities that can help
organizations extract the most valuable insights from their data.

With the acquisition of B.O.S., Rocket Software offers its customers the ability
to store, manage, control and replicate data between the mainframe, on premise
and public cloud platforms in near real time. Unlike other solutions on the
market, Rocket Software will make it easier for its customers to get data from
hard-to-understand subsystems on the mainframe, while making it easier to
replicate the data to multiple targets on the cloud or on premise. This will
allow customers to reap the benefits of the security, availability, and
reliability of the mainframe, while also taking advantage of the powerful
analytics tools on the cloud.

“Our customers partner with us to solve their most complex IT challenges and
simplify their modernization journeys,” said Milan Shetti, President and CEO of
Rocket Software. “By bringing B.O.S. into the Rocket Software family, our
customers will have the unique capability to seamlessly replicate data between
the cloud and mainframe, allowing them to modernize in place to accelerate and
optimize their journeys and meet the evolving needs of the market.”

“Rocket Software’s acquisition of B.O.S. underscores its forward-thinking
approach to solving modern IT challenges,” said Steven Dickens, VP and Practice
Leader at Futurum Group. “This deal further signals that while Rocket may be
rooted in mainframe it is fully embracing the future of IT infrastructure—hybrid
cloud. In a hybrid environment, agility, scalability, and security aren't just
buzzwords—they're requisites for organizational success. B.O.S.’ data
replication technology paired with Rocket Software’s existing solutions will
allow customers to reap the benefits of both the mainframe and the cloud.” 

“For decades B.O.S. has put its customers at the forefront of everything we do,”
said Elisabeth Schwarz, CEO of B.O.S. “We’re completely aligned with Rocket
Software’s mission and values and are very proud to enter this next chapter
together where we can apply our solutions at a grander scale thanks to Rocket
Software’s extensive portfolio and global reach.”

The financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed.

Rocket Software’s Hybrid Cloud Solutions provide customers with the powerful
capabilities to access, replicate, automate, monitor and backup their
mission-critical workloads that span the mainframe to the public cloud. For more
