  SOMERVILLE, MA, May 03 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced the expansion of its
Spotfire Value Added Reseller (VAR) Program for the TIBCO Spotfire(R)
Analytics Platform to meet the growing demand for analytics applications
around the world. TIBCO continues to actively recruit VAR partners in
North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and
Australia to provide a global reach to customers in a broad range of
industries and markets. The Spotfire VAR Program gives VARs an
opportunity to sell the powerful Spotfire in-memory analytics platform
with native real-time predictive analytics capabilities. With Spotfire,
VARs can deliver a highly differentiated solution using proven,
award-winning technology and certified training and support resources
from Spotfire. 

    "Our customers were demanding full-featured analytics capabilities. After
a long exhaustive review, SyncSite identified Spotfire's Analytics
Platform as the clear market front runner," said Nicholas Kyriazis, vice
president of sales and marketing at SyncSite, a premier provider of
Business Intelligence (BI) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
solutions. "Our entire Business Analytics Practice is built around the
Spotfire suite of products. In addition to an intense product review, we
were looking for a great long-term partner. After over a year of doing
business together, we know we chose the right company and our customers
are happy. The Spotfire team is as partner-friendly as they come."

    With Spotfire, VARs can quickly and easily develop world-class solutions
that serve any business user, from analysts to executives. They can
differentiate Spotfire solutions, as Spotfire applications are radically
faster and more adaptable than static BI reports and dashboards, and
allow business users to drive data analysis themselves without having to
wait for IT to generate new reports or reconfigure data cubes. The TIBCO
Spotfire Analytics Platform, which is recognized as a best-of-breed
solution by many of the top IT analyst firms, provides a complete
development and delivery environment complemented by a comprehensive set
of application programming interfaces (APIs) and extensible software
development kits (SDKs). 

    CyberStream Technologies provides professional services in the IT and
networking sectors in Greece and internationally. The company has a
strong focus on systems integration and the implementation of innovative
systems and products. According to Andreas Maniatis, Ph.D., commercial
manager at CyberStream, "The TIBCO Spotfire Analytics Platform enriches
CyberStream's portfolio of business intelligence tools with a new
category of capabilities: visual analytics. Business executives and users
from every level within an enterprise can use TIBCO Spotfire to exploit
an incredibly fast and flexible environment for analyzing critical data
that helps them make better and smarter decisions."

    Perficient is helping their customers leverage the TIBCO Spotfire
Analytics Platform to gain a competitive advantage. "Partnering with
TIBCO Spotfire helps us provide our clients the ability to quickly
realize the benefit of high-value analytic applications in a variety of
vertical markets," said Jim Roberts, general manager of Perficient. 

    Spotfire has made the VAR certification program "partner friendly" by
offering sales, implementation and support training through multiple
learning channels. Modes include classroom, Web-based, and blended
instructor-led courses over the Web. This self-paced approach allows the
VAR to minimize time lost in the field while gaining the necessary
proficiencies. "Spotfire's blended training model provides a unique mix
of hands-on training and knowledge transfer, while allowing the student
to learn at his or her own pace," said Jason T. Bedworth, vice president
of CFS Consulting Group. "This approach fosters a stronger, more
well-rounded understanding of the product than more traditional classroom
training, and in a very short period of time. Immediately after training,
our team could apply Spotfire to real-life scenarios."

    "Spotfire allows users to gain more valuable insight from multiple data
sources through its in-memory analytics, breakthrough data
visualizations, highly interactive user experience, and the integration
of powerful statistical packages," said Bill Doyle, vice president of
indirect channel sales for Spotfire, TIBCO Software Inc. "Now VARs have
the opportunity to combine their domain expertise with our leading
analytics platform to develop and deploy analytic solutions, dashboards
and workflows. This provides the VAR with new professional services
opportunities by enabling their business users to analyze their
operations in ways traditional BI cannot. In turn, we remain committed to
working with new and existing partners to develop, deliver, and support
the industry applications that make our joint customers more successful,
while continuing to innovate."

    Spotfire is currently accepting applications for partners. For more
