As Chief Executive Officer of Rational, Devlin oversaw the acquisition of several companies, including Objectory Bachelor of Arts (1995), and Catapulse (2001), a start-up which was funded by Rational, in conjunction with Benchmark Capital. In 2003, Rational Software was acquired by International Business Machines Corporation for 2.1 billion dollars (United States), a move that saw Devlin become general manager with International Business Machines Corporation. He retired from the company two years later.
