* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
SOMERVILLE, MA, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced the general
availability of TIBCO Silver(TM) Spotfire -- a fully functional on-demand
offering designed to enable anyone to create, publish and share custom
dashboards or reports for business analytics and business intelligence
(BI) in the cloud.
TIBCO is the first provider to truly make good on making BI and analytics
available to anyone. Unlike other BI offerings, TIBCO Silver Spotfire
enables visual analytics and remarkably interactive dashboards to be
created and published to the cloud in minutes without requiring time
consuming setup or infrastructure.
Fast Facts
-- The TIBCO Silver Spotfire offering is available at no charge for
one-year and provides an authoring client, expansive web-based sharing
and hosting for the user's favorite personal or business Spotfire
application. Monthly hosting options are available for ongoing usage
after the introductory year.
-- TIBCO Silver Spotfire is accessible for immediate use from
http://goto.spotfire.com/silverspotfire/.
-- The ease-of-use of the service, which builds on TIBCO's previously
announced TIBCO Silver(TM) initiative
(http://www.tibco.com/company/news/releases/2009/press967.jsp), will
help expand TIBCO's footprint into the small and medium business and
consumer market for dashboards and analytic apps. Unlike competitive
products, the TIBCO Silver Spotfire and the TIBCO Silver cloud
application delivery platform are fast, simple and easy to use. TIBCO
Silver Spotfire streamlines the process of delivering cloud-based
analytic apps and dashboards in a matter of minutes -- not months --
by deploying what you need, when you need it to improve the way work
gets done.
-- TIBCO Silver Spotfire is more than traditional BI in a SaaS offering;
it is essentially a "social BI" offering that enables business teams
to easily build and share reports, dashboards, charts, and other
visualization and calculations in order to grow a corporate analytics
knowledge base. TIBCO Silver Spotfire can be integrated with social
media, allowing users to embed live dashboards into their business
blogs and online articles, thereby distributing their analytic
knowledge base more broadly than is possible with traditional BI
tools.
-- TIBCO partners and service providers also benefit from this program by
easily showcasing and exchanging their solutions and application
templates with customers, prospects and members of the community.
Quotes
-- "This news builds on our cloud strategy of streamlining from months to
minutes the time needed to build and deploy applications. TIBCO Silver
Spotfire puts analytics, BI and rich disposable apps within anyone's
reach in minutes -- rather than the months it took previously if IT
was willing to deploy it. This means users can easily interact with
our technology just where it is needed."
-- Vivek Ranadive,
Chairman and CEO, TIBCO Software Inc.
-- "We have now made it possible for anyone to analyze information and
uncover compelling new insights from any data -- whether for
assignments at work, such as sales and marketing reviews, budgeting
and planning or project management, as well as projects at home, such
as reviewing personal stock portfolios or analyzing fantasy sports
teams. For this reason, TIBCO is making our new offering a quick and
simple program, unlocking dashboards, analytics, and BI for anyone."
-- Rock Gnatovich, Spotfire Chief Operating Officer, TIBCO Software
Inc.
-- "Spotfire offers the only analytic platform that's intuitive, yet
powerful enough to guide any user type -- from beginner to expert.
With this new cloud-based offering, Spotfire is further empowering
everyday users to get the on-demand information they need, rather than
relying on IT to deliver pre-configured reports, common to many BI
tools."
-- Bill Carney, Vice President of Marketing, Veracode, Inc.
