IBM, the world's largest technology services company, and German software company SAP AG plan to roll out their first jointly developed software product in March, the two companies said on Monday.
The software -- called Alloy -- combines IBM Lotus Notes software with SAP Business Suite and will be sold by both companies, SAP said.
IBM Lotus and SAP have thousands of mutual customers who have been asking for the functionality that Alloy software will provide, SAP said, adding that the majority of IBM's top 100 customers also use SAP offerings.
The two companies gave no details on the price of the software or the development costs.
