"That leaves Software Group, which had three times the growth of IBM
overall, up 6 per cent to $5.3bn, and that was after losing about 1 per
cent of revenue through the divestiture of its product lifecycle
management (PLM) software to Dassault Systemes and a pretty bad showing
by its Lotus groupware products, which declined by 6 per cent. IBM's
WebSphere middleware had 17 per cent growth in the second quarter, with 7
per cent growth in the Information Management line (DB2, IMS, and other
database products). The Tivoli systems management line of software
products kept pace with WebSphere, rising 18 per cent, and the Rational
development tools squeaked out 1 per cent revenue growth."

Taken from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07..._2010_numbers/

So I am wondering what was the percentages of IDS?

Was it 'double digit' growth or was it around 7% which would put it in parity to DB2?

Curious minds want to know...
