TIBCO Positioned as a Leader for SOA Governance in 2011 Magic Quadrant

PALO ALTO, CA, Oct 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced that it has been
positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant of the "Magic
Quadrant for SOA Governance Technologies." The evaluation of TIBCO in
this Magic Quadrant is based on "ability to execute" and "completeness of
vision."

"TIBCO has been a market leader in SOA and SOA Governance Technologies
for quite some time, and we believe Gartner's latest report confirms our
ability to meet growing customer demands on getting the greatest return
on investment from their SOA projects," said Ivan Casanova, director,
product marketing, TIBCO. "On the heels of being named one of the top
five 2010 market share leaders in SOA Governance based on total software
revenue from Gartner, our integrated SOA governance portfolio continues
to deliver value with end-to-end governance across the entire service
lifecycle, including design, development, testing, deployment,
maintenance, and retirement."

According to Gartner: "As service-oriented architecture becomes
mainstream and takes on different names, the importance of SOA governance
and the technologies related to it keep increasing. The market for SOA
governance technologies keeps changing, driven by more comprehensive
requirements from end users."

With growth in SOA Governance revenue of over 70 percent year on year
between 2009 and 2010, TIBCO offers an integrated portfolio that
comprehensively governs all business services from design-time to
run-time, and includes proactive performance and health monitoring of IT
and business services.

TIBCO's ActiveMatrix SOA Governance offering integrates extensively with
the company's leading Business Integration, Business Process Management,
Master Data Management and Complex Event Processing offerings, as well as
