IBM has acquired Webify Solutions, a company that has created veritcal industry Services and frameworks. Webify is based in Austin., TX and Mumbai, India. IBM is making a $200 million a year investment in a Global Business Solution Center (GBSC) in India with the intent of creating ready to use business Services(IBM sets up SOA hub in India). This acquisition will give them a leg up in having services to sell. It may also help guide other develpment efforts as they set up shop in India. IBM plans to employ 54,000 - 60,000 in India - 20% of its workforce, and plans to invest $1 billion this year on SOA. So if you've got any good SOA services to sell, or have some interest in moving to India, I suggest you try giving IBM a call.
