IBM and Worksoft Deepen Partnership Through OEM Agreement to Advance SAP Transformation

Addison, Texas Oct 13, 2025  – Worksoft, a prominent provider of intelligent test automation for business applications, revealed today two significant developments in its two-decade collaboration with IBM.  

• Worksoft Connective Automation for IBM has been integrated into IBM Software’s worldwide product catalog as a singular offering via a fresh OEM agreement, streamlining the process for businesses to acquire and implement test automation.
• Worksoft has officially joined the IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications, enhancing the combined efforts of IBM and Worksoft in assisting clients to update their SAP systems through initiatives like RISE with SAP, S/4HANA transitions, and large-scale upgrade projects.

Companies globally face increasing demands to modernize, but numerous projects encounter delays because of testing constraints, intricate data, and escalating risks. Through the integration of IBM’s extensive global presence and Worksoft’s AI-driven test automation, businesses acquire a reliable method to speed up transformation, minimize manual tasks, and guarantee high standards.

“This signifies a new phase in our two-decade alliance with IBM,” stated Matt Schwartz, Worksoft’s CEO. “By making Worksoft Connective Automation for IBM available as a unified offering and formally integrating our platform with the IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications, we are providing businesses with dual significant benefits: automation that is more readily available globally and directly linked to the accomplishment of major transformation projects. This leads to modernization with reduced risk, quicker implementation, and demonstrable ROI.”

Streamlining access via OEM agreement:

Under the fresh OEM agreement, Worksoft Connective Automation for IBM is featured as a unified product within IBM’s worldwide software catalog. This simplifies the purchasing process, enabling companies to implement automation directly under their current IBM contracts, bypassing the need for extra vendor approvals or agreements. Existing Worksoft users have reported 42-68% shorter release cycles and 30-60% fewer problems after deployment, thereby quickening their realization of value.

“By integrating Worksoft Connective Automation for IBM into our global Software portfolio as a singular solution, we are making it easier for clients to adopt and expand enterprise-level automation,” commented Karim Dawood, IBM DevOps Ecosystem Leader. “This arrangement enhances IBM’s capacity to deliver consistent transformation results globally, offering customers dependable automation directly through their IBM agreements and supported by our worldwide assistance.”

Bolstering SAP transformation through Suite integration:

Now a component of the IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications, Worksoft’s Connective Automation Platform enhances IBM’s SAP modernization approach by providing automation that documents processes, verifies modifications, and facilitates ongoing testing. This aids companies in keeping projects on track, mitigating risks, and achieving business benefits more rapidly.

As Ramy Buechler, Program Director of Product Management for SAP on IBM Power, highlighted in a recent blog: That identical concept extends to testing–and automation makes it feasible at scale.

Research from IDC validates these effects. Businesses leveraging Worksoft attain 70-90% test coverage, an 80% improvement in alignment between IT and business operations, and a 3-4x return on investment from automation. Furthermore, organizations report complete compliance in regulated sectors while cutting testing expenses by 30-64%.

Regarding the Collaboration:

This declaration signifies the most robust stage to date in the collaboration between Worksoft and IBM. For over twenty years, both firms have assisted some of the globe’s largest enterprises in executing intricate transformation initiatives. These new achievements mean they are widening the availability of dependable automation that can match the pace of evolving business requirements.
