PARIS--(Marketwire - August 12, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ : TIBX ) today announced
that Chronopost -- the leading French firm for express delivery of parcels
up to 70 pounds to businesses and individuals -- has chosen TIBCO's
software to enhance the company's agility and operational efficiency
through an open, scalable enterprise exchange platform that supports the
sharing and reuse of data across all of Chronopost's applications and
platforms. This project is part of the "Phoenix" program, which redefines
the information system as outlined in Chronopost's three-year plan.
Chronopost's primary objectives behind the Phoenix program are to deliver a
proprietary method for accessing information, develop a custom user
interface, provide information traffic management and share information
between different processes, all while taking a business approach to
information systems.
Head of Infrastructure Jean-Philippe Hertzog commented on the partnership
stating: "One of our objectives is to increase customer satisfaction, in
particular by improving pro-activity in tracking each parcel.
Up-to-the-minute, accurate information on each parcel from collection
through delivery should be available at all times throughout the shipping
process. We chose TIBCO's solutions because they are easy to integrate and
operate, meeting all our connectivity requirements."
As well as improving customer satisfaction, the exchange platform will
contribute to a faster time to market of new customer services through
automated process capabilities and the rapid creation and maintenance of
data flows across various applications. The exchange platform will also
ensure the flow of data between 120 specialized, heterogeneous applications
deployed across more than 80 sites on 300 RedHat Linux servers using a
VMWare virtualization layer. The new exchange platform, which will leverage
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™, TIBCO iProcess™ Suite, and TIBCO
BusinessEvents™, will process and monitor in real-time more than 10
million exchange messages per day.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to help Chronopost transform its
enterprise IT environment to drive new value creation for its customer
base," said Fabio Pulidori, senior vice president, EMEA Field Operations,
TIBCO. "The establishment of an open, scalable, exchange platform as part
of their Phoenix project will serve as an important competitive
differentiator for long-term growth and agility."
