For more than 20 years, IBM and Worksoft have partnered on some of the world’s most complex enterprise modernization programs, from large-scale SAP upgrades to multi-system migrations.. The foundation of that relationship has always been joint delivery with IBM Consulting, where together we have helped clients reduce risk, keep business processes intact, and accelerate outcomes at scale.  

The evolution of our alliance now adds two new dimensions: the single-SKU availability of Worksoft Connective Automation for IBM within IBM’s global software portfolio, and the alignment of the Worksoft platform with the IBM Transformation Suite for SAP Applications. These advancements, built on decades of consulting delivery, represent the next chapter in a story of trust, innovation, and shared success with a vision for the future. 

A partnership built on proof 

Over the last two decades, IBM Consulting and Worksoft have delivered transformation together for some of the world’s largest enterprises. From global SAP upgrades to multi-system migrations, the two companies have worked side by side to reduce risk, keep critical processes intact, and accelerate outcomes at scale. 

This history matters. Transformation programs are rarely short. They span years, cross continents, and touch nearly every aspect of the business. Trust between consulting partners and technology providers is what keeps those programs moving forward. IBM’s global scale and methodology, combined with the intelligence of the Worksoft Connective Automation Platform, have been tested in hundreds of programs and proven time and again. 

Advancing the partnership 

The recent announcements, Worksoft Connective Automation for IBM available as a single SKU, and the alignment of the Worksoft platform to IBM’s Transformation Suite for SAP Applications, are the natural progression of a relationship built on two decades of delivery. Together, along with IBM Consulting Services, they take what has already worked for enterprises worldwide and make it easier, faster, and more scalable for the future. 

Few automation platforms hold this position. Worksoft is one of the only officially recognized and aligned automation partners within IBM’s Transformation Suite. That distinction reflects not just capability, but confidence: confidence that testing automation embedded in IBM’s methodology delivers measurable impact, from faster regression cycles to lower project risk and transformation programs that meet deadlines. 

Looking ahead 

But the story does not end here. The pace of enterprise change is only accelerating, fuelled by AI, cloud adoption, and new waves of digital transformation. RISE with SAP migrations, S/4HANA upgrades, and multi-system transformations will define the next decade. To keep up, enterprises need partners who combine innovation with reliability. IBM and Worksoft are continuing to evolve together, bringing AI-driven intelligence into testing automation to help organizations navigate complexity, manage risk, and deliver transformation with confidence.  

As Scott Laderer, Director of Customer Success at Worksoft, puts it: “Enterprises don’t measure success in tools deployed. They measure it in projects delivered, risks avoided, and value realized. Our partnership with IBM has proven that when automation is embedded within the right methodology, transformation delivers on its promise. And that promise now extends to the future.” 

Bringing it all together 

The first blog in this series explored how procurement has been simplified through a single IBM SKU. The second showed how alignment with IBM’s Transformation Suite enables scale. This final chapter ties it all together: a partnership built on 20 years of consulting delivery, now strengthened across software, methodology, and AI, so enterprises can modernize with confidence for decades to come.
