IBM said it acquired Manta Software, a data lineage startup, so it can add data lineage tools to its watsonx lineup.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Manta Software, founded in 2016, is based in Prague.
According to IBM, the plan is to use Manta Software's ability to map data flows, sources and dependencies and enable watsonx to boost transparency of data used in models and systems and provide an audit trail.
IBM and Manta have been partners since June 2022.
Manta Software customers include Bank of Montreal, T-Mobile and J.B. Hunt.
In a blog post, IBM Tarun Chopra, Vice President, Product Management, Data and AI of IBM Software, said Manta Software is the eight acquisition of 2023.
