TIBCO Spotfire Named Reporting and Analytics "Champion" in 2009 Aberdeen Research AXIS Report

SOMERVILLE, MA, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced technology research
firm Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), has named TIBCO
Spotfire products the "Champion" in its Business Intelligence: Reporting &
Analytics (BIRA) AXIS Report. TIBCO Spotfire products ranked ahead of all
other products based on survey responses from hundreds of enterprise
end-users and a total score representing market readiness and ability to
deliver value to customers. A "Champion" is defined as a vendor that has
demonstrated superior proficiency in delivering both real value as well as
the ability to serve and support its installed user base. Twenty-seven
BIRA vendors, including QlikTech, Cognos (IBM), SAS, and BusinessObjects
(SAP), were evaluated based on the success of the respective technology in
the context of the user's environment.

As stated in the AXIS report, "TIBCO Spotfire products offer a visual and
interactive experience that helps professionals quickly discover new and
actionable insights in information. The products are distinguished by
their speed to insight and adaptability to specific business challenges,
while maintaining a simple-to-use interface for non-technical users.
Customers can now obtain powerful reporting and analytics tied to the
management of their business processes. The platform delivers much more
than simple reporting and charting capabilities. The intuitive user
interface enables some of the deepest visualization options for
non-technical end users. TIBCO Spotfire customers represent the only
customer base of a reporting and analytics solution to achieve 'Champion'
status in this AXIS report."

"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," said Lars Bauerle, vice president
of Product Management, Spotfire Division, TIBCO Software Inc. "Because the
AXIS report puts a heavy emphasis on customer input, scoring this highly
confirms that we're doing the right things by our customers and they
recognize that. That's what makes us a Champion."

According to the report, "Once TIBCO Spotfire applications are rolled-out,
end users infrequently if ever report that they require assistance from
the IT department."

TIBCO continues to advance the TIBCO Spotfire(R) enterprise analytics
platform, the industry's most flexible platform for deploying
statistically enhanced and predictive analytic applications to a wide
range of professionals across the enterprise. By giving users The Power
to Predict(TM), organizations have the ability to anticipate changes in a
volatile environment, which can mean the difference between dying,
surviving, or thriving. TIBCO Spotfire(R) 3.0, the company's
industry-leading, in-memory analytics platform, is the latest in a steady
stream of product enhancements and industry firsts, following on a history
of innovation. Recent product releases brought to market support business
mashups, real-time data and business process integration, new
visualization methods, and predictive analytics.

"Organizations today are realizing the potential of applying BI technology
and approaches to immediate operational information needs in the business.
The ability of TIBCO Spotfire to meet rapidly changing end-user
requirements and reduce 'time-to-decision/action' are key reasons it's a
Champion in the Reporting and Analytics AXIS report," stated David Hatch,
vice president/principal analyst, Aberdeen Group. "Customer focus is a
cornerstone of the company and TIBCO Spotfire continues to release
innovative solutions and product enhancements to meet its customers' needs
despite tough economic times."
