Filling voids and reducing their own development costs. Both acquisitions make sense, at least to me. Omegamon is a market leader and so is SoftAudit. It has helped bolster the Tivoli product suites in both Performance Management and Asset Management.
Is there something else you are looking for? Some sinister motive perhaps? As to the Isogon acquisition, I just hope the price comes down to earth.
