PushToTest Heralds TIBCO as a Leader in Composition Approach to Enterprise-Scale SOA

PALO, ALTO, CA, Nov 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) was recently publicized as a standard
in productivity by PushToTest. PushToTest commissioned and released a
comparative study entitled "The Composition Approach for Large-Scale
SOA". In the study, PushToTest found that TIBCO ActiveMatrix(R) products
offer lower total cost of ownership (TCO), a better architecture for
large-scale SOA development, deployment, and management, and less hassle
for developers overall.

The research analyzes new, best-practice approaches to service oriented
architecture (SOA) and evaluates SOA development and deployment solutions
from leading vendors, including Oracle, IBM, and TIBCO. In implementing a
test use-case across all of the solutions, PushToTest has concluded that
SOA success requires service composition and service virtualization
approaches to development and governance.

Key findings from the study state that Oracle, IBM, and TIBCO tools have
major differences in developer productivity and deployment. TIBCO's
platform independent architecture is better suited for large-scale SOA
initiatives that must deal with the complexity of deploying and managing
services across heterogeneous platforms. Also, in side-by-side product
implementations, TIBCO ActiveMatrix provided the greatest productivity
savings which can significantly reduce TCO. TIBCO took 29 percent less
time and development costs compared to Oracle, and 22 percent less
compared to IBM.

"The TIBCO ActiveMatrix family of products is uniquely designed to
deliver the fastest time to results, reduced complexity, and the lowest
total cost of ownership for our customers," said David Hickman, director
of SOA marketing at TIBCO. "We are pleased that this study by PushToTest
shows that TIBCO's approach to building, deploying and managing services
and composite applications delivers on all three fronts."

"The success of agile software development methodology and DevOps
practices show that development and deployment platform choices have a
significant impact -- up to 29% in the first year -- on the total costs
to develop, orchestrate, deploy, and manage services," said Frank Cohen,
CEO and Founder at PushtoTest. "Our research explores a new composition
approach to building SOA services and provides a methodology to evaluate
today's tools in terms of developer productivity and ease of deployment
and management. The analysis shows that TIBCO is the leader in service
composition and service virtualization and is building products to meet
global enterprise needs."
