SOMERVILLE, MA--(Marketwire - April 6, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (
NASDAQ:
TIBX) has
announced powerful new capabilities in the TIBCO Spotfire® Enterprise
Analytics platform that allow government agencies to better explore
relationships between different types of data, revealing hidden risks,
fraud, and threats to help these agencies improve their effectiveness,
information sharing, and cross communications.
As evident from the recent Madoff and Stanford SEC-related financial
scandals, the FDA peanut butter recall and numerous FDA drug safety alerts
around such products as VIOXX, government agencies are faced with an
unprecedented information overload of both structured and unstructured data
that they must quickly access, understand, and act upon. Analysts at these
resource-strained agencies -- now facing potential budget cuts -- need to
browse, analyze, collaborate and search up-to-date, critical information to
spot patterns, trends, and anomalies and immediately ask follow-up
questions about these insights.
Before Spotfire, the ability for analysts to discover insights in the
information they work with daily was limited by backlogs for static reports
from traditional BI systems or by ubiquitous and overwhelming spreadsheets.
The TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise Analytics platform offers a visual and
interactive experience that is helping government analysts quickly discover
new and actionable insights in complex information. Using TIBCO
Spotfire®, government agencies can eliminate these issues by using the
software's capabilities to make analysis a part of any process, and the
ability to automatically broadcast updated analyses and share data insights
to information consumers inside the organization or out in the field. The
latest version of the software even allows analysts reviewing complex
multi-dimensional data to zoom and rotate in three dimensions, enabling
them to analyze their data in a whole new way, and quickly spot new
insights or hidden patterns.
In addition, TIBCO has recently announced new products to combat the unique
data analysis challenges of federal agencies. TIBCO Spotfire® Network
Analytics is a new product that aids in any type of relationship analysis,
from identifying email and cell phone traffic patterns to understanding
social network analysis, to analyzing counter-party or supply chain
relationships. TIBCO Spotfire S+® products allow government agencies to
incorporate and deploy predictive analytics on very large data sets in a
wide range of applications, including drug safety and intelligence.
"At all levels of government, expectations for performance and
accountability have never been higher. Departments and agencies are
continually asked to do more with the available resources while also
improving efficiency, optimizing processes, and overcoming barriers to
providing essential services," said Jim Hawley, Director of Government
Sales, Spotfire Division, TIBCO Software Inc. "The TIBCO Spotfire platform,
along with TIBCO Spotfire Network Analytics and TIBCO Spotfire S+ products,
turn complex data into useful, statistically informed, interactive
visualizations that make it easier to understand and act upon their
findings, while sharing this information securely across departments and
among agencies."
Spotfire analytics are used by numerous government agencies which use
Spotfire to visualize, analyze, query, collaborate, communicate and share
information and analyses via the Web, including geospatial relationships.

new data insights, TIBCO offers free public demos visible through a
