A modern software company buys Split

Harness, a modern software delivery platform company, today announced an agreement to acquire Split Software, a leading provider of feature management and experimentation capabilities. This strategic agreement will define a new standard in software delivery, enabling companies to innovate faster and more efficiently.

Organizations and companies must adapt quickly to remain competitive in today’s rapidly changing digital landscape. Modern companies are disrupting software delivery processes to keep pace with the acceleration of software delivery by investing in tools that enable them to experiment, measure, and deploy new products and features without compromising customer experience or application stability.

With the acquisition of Split, Harness will offer a robust feature management and experimentation solution that enables customers to build, deploy, and release software while conducting A/B testing to experiment and measure feature utilization. Built on the foundational capabilities of Harness’ AI technology, AIDATM, our joint solution will power the future of DevOps by delivering intelligent capabilities that help developers deliver products confidently. Additionally, it will be seamlessly integrated with the Harness Software Delivery platform, and companies will no longer need to purchase single-point solutions to meet end-to-end software delivery requirements.

Harness’ goal is to transform the software development and deployment process, ensuring every team can deliver code to its users quickly, reliably, efficiently, and securely. With this acquisition, Harness reaffirms its commitment to enhancing its end-to-end software delivery platform, built with best-in-class product modules, to support innovation and increase developer productivity.

KEY QUOTES:

“We have seen huge market demand from our customers for an advanced function management solution.

These critical features add further robust functionality to our platform, supporting the shift towards faster software delivery and adding value throughout the software lifecycle.”

“The moment a feature is released is a critical point of contact between developer and user.
