Again, pure speculation and my opinion only, ANTS provides software that allows databases to migrate limiting errors. There are many companies that want to move/migrate databases to cloud based servers cost effectively.
There is huge demand/potential here.

ANTs Software Presents a Cost-Effective Way to Modernize and Migrate Databases
Reducing the complexity of multi-vendor database environments has always meant confronting the risky, expensive and very time-consuming task of application migration.
Migrating database environments with IBM® DB2® SSacSA -built on unmatched innovations in database migration technology from IBM and ANTs Software - versus the traditional methods, is accomplished with significantly less effort, time and cost.
IBM DB2 SSacSA provides customers with a cohesive solution and delivers a complete ready-to-test environment in minimal time, at a very low cost.
ANTs Software’s experience in planning and executing complex enterprise database migrations coupled with IBM’s global support helps enterprises create a lower cost, energy-efficient, and much more scalable infrastructure.
Database migration is an especially acute problem for companies still using Sybase ASE 12.5 or older platforms, as all engineering support for these platforms has ceased. ANTs’ approach is a real-world alternative to a forced migration to ASE 15.
Your options are completely open. And, the ANTs approach can also facilitate moving applications from any enterprise database to DB2.
