Hangzhou Municipal Government Selects TIBCO Software for Enhancing Efficiency
of E-Government Services

BEIJING, SHANGHAI, HANGZHOU, China, March 31
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TIBCO Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX) today announced
that the Hangzhou Municipal Government has successfully completed the
deployment of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service(TM) and TIBCO ActiveMatrix
BusinessWorks(TM) for its government information sharing and business
collaboration initiative to facilitate the integration and real-time flow of
data across its information systems.
Prior to the project, cross-departmental information sharing had been a
major challenge for the municipal authorities, as various departments had
adopted differing technology standards. In addition, the Web sites of the
various levels of government -- from the municipality down to villages and
townships -- had been developed independently, impeding timely information
distribution to the public. However, using the TIBCO Enterprise Message
Service as its information backbone and TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks for
software integration through service-oriented architecture, the municipal
government's information sharing and business collaboration initiative has
been able to leverage its existing information systems, while paving the way
for future services and growth.
"TIBCO's integration and real-time information processing solutions have
allowed us to create a centralized, multi-level framework for information
cataloging and sharing, even though our data exchanges are physically
dispersed. The near instantaneous access to information we gain from this
system across multiple departments empowers us to carry out our duties,
including tax administration and regulatory enforcement, more efficiently, and
make better policy decisions for our people," said Guo Liqiao, deputy director
of Hangzhou Municipal Government Informatization Office.
Mr. Guo said TIBCO was selected for the e-government project after an
evaluation of several integration and real-time information processing
solutions, and an onsite visit to one of TIBCO's other customers.
"TIBCO's software was simply the fastest, most secure and most reliable
solution we evaluated. And importantly, TIBCO allowed us to achieve real-time
data exchange in a multi-vendor environment, so we did not need to replace the
incompatible legacy applications and platforms that had been deployed
throughout government," Mr. Guo explained.
As the informatization of the civil services government continues to
gather momentum across China, TIBCO has set its sights on increasing its
penetration into the country's e-government market.
"Bringing government services online will have a number of tangible
benefits for both the authorities and the public. While enabling authorities
to perform administrative duties and disseminate information quickly and more
efficiently, e-government will also provide individuals and businesses with
easier access to information, streamlined reporting requirements and faster
transaction channels. The savings in time and money for everyone are
potentially enormous," said Ram Menon, executive vice president, Worldwide
Marketing, at TIBCO Software.
