TIBCO Spotfire Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant in 2009 Business Intelligence Platforms Magic Quadrant

SOMERVILLE, MA--(Marketwire - January 26, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced it has been positioned in the Visionaries quadrant in Gartner, Inc.'s recently released Business Intelligence Platforms 2009 Magic Quadrant.(1) Vendors were evaluated based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.

According to Gartner, "BI is a vital competitive tool of increased importance in an environment where doing business more smartly, in order to maximize share of the reduced revenue in circulation, is a necessity." The TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise Analytics platform enables every user in the enterprise to gain more insights from the data they work with every day.

"Adoption of traditional business intelligence platforms has been hampered by the lack of deep integration with business processes and reliance on typically static information in the data warehouse. Especially in today's challenging economic environment, an organization's ability to quickly find new insights across a broad range of users and processes can mean the difference between success and failure. By combining industry-leading business process management, complex event processing and enterprise analytics software, TIBCO is uniquely positioned to offer customers the ability to rapidly discover new insights in the data they work with every day," said Lars Bauerle, Vice President of Product Management, Spotfire Division, TIBCO Software Inc.

"The relationship between BI and the greater enterprise software infrastructure, including BPM and BAM, will only grow as competitive businesses require the right decisions be made at critical times based on accurate, timely information. TIBCO is positioned to offer enterprises the whole spectrum -- from data capture and streaming to data analysis and interactive reporting -- on a single, flexible platform. We're taking best of breed products and drawing common threads among them that enable our customers to quickly sense and respond to their industry-specific requirements," Bauerle continued.

Before Spotfire®, the ability for business professionals 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. With the comprehensive Spotfire platform, enterprises can eliminate these issues by using the extensive customization capabilities to make analysis a part of any business process, then broadcast personalized and updated data to information consumers automatically.
