In an article, one of the IBMers is quoted saying that a primary reason IBM decided to buy Candle was my PATHWAI joint venture product (using Information Builders data adapters to feed Candle operations software to dynamically adjust the operations environment in order to guarantee performance levels for Web transaction support). The product is now part of Websphere and Tiviol offerings (http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/mainframe/marchapril06/coverstory/10080p1.aspx)
