TIBCO Spotfire Puts the Spotlight on Screening at InfoTech for Pharma and
Biotech
Christian Marcazzo's Presentation at May Conference to Show How Pharma
Research Benefits from Advances in Analytics

SOMERVILLE, Mass., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spotfire, a division
of TIBCO Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX), today announced that Christian
Marcazzo, Senior Director Life Sciences Analytics, will present 'Applying Next
Generation Business Intelligence to Pharma R&D' at the InfoTech for Pharma and
Biotech Conference being held May 20 & 21 in Basel, Switzerland. Mr.
Marcazzo's presentation will offer participants insight into how they can
leverage critical data to speed insights and prompt better business decisions
at pharmaceutical organizations.
For the past ten years, Spotfire's software has been used to enable
decision making at all of the top 25 pharmaceutical companies. In his
presentation, Marcazzo will explain how the newest generation of the Spotfire
platform offers research groups new and powerful workflows that can accelerate
the entire screening operation including high-throughput screening, secondary
screening, and high-content screening.
"This is the first release of the Spotfire platform which we are
recommending for applications in Screening," said Marcazzo. "With the
curve-fitting and curve-drawing capabilities, we've developed what I believe
will be game changing for analysis of plate based screening data; in
particular when looking at dose response screens."
The TIBCO Spotfire(R) enterprise analytics platform allows users to
leverage standard interfaces and Business Intelligence (BI) data to create
user experiences that speed insights and prompt better business decisions.
This type of speed and flexibility is difficult to achieve quickly with
traditional BI solutions. The latest release also provides an enhanced set of
application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow partners and customers to
build analytics applications for any business process. These APIs make it
easier for companies to create a seamlessly integrated user experience, by
customizing the user interface and even developing new data visualizations for
the TIBCO Spotfire(R) Web Player. Security improvements provide better
integration to existing infrastructure for internal and external use over the
web.
The conference will be at the Radisson SAS Hotel Basel. Mr. Marcazzo will
present on Wednesday, May 21st at 12:30 (local time).
