Just before Christmas, TIBCO released its fourth-quarter and full-year financial results for 2011 (the intervening holiday is why I haven’t blogged about it until now). While companies like Oracle struggle to deliver performance, TIBCO continues to march relentlessly on. And although it’s perhaps tempting (certainly in comparison to behemoths like Oracle) to paint TIBCO as [...]
Posted on Friday, January 6, 2012 by Neil Ward-DuttonThe week after Progress’ Revolution customer event in Boston, I spent a few days in Vegas courtesy of TIBCO at its annual TUCON customer shindig. At one level, there are some interesting parallels to draw between Progress and TIBCO*: both vendors are ‘independent’ infrastructure software providers; both are currently pitching visions of responsiveness to their [...]
Posted on Monday, October 3, 2011 by Neil Ward-DuttonIt might not be on the same scale as HP buying Autonomy, but today’s purchase of UK-based software vendor Nimbus Partners by TIBCO is still pretty important news in the BPM space. Nimbus, a UK-based provider of what might be described as a “process knowledge management” platform (my words, not Nimbus’) called Control is pretty [...]
Posted on Tuesday, August 30, 2011 by Neil Ward-DuttonTIBCO’s been through some tough times, but over the past year it’s started to really motor along. The acquisitions of Spotfire (analytics), Netrics (data matching), Data Synapse (grid and cloud computing infrastructure) have been significant engines of growth – helping to make TIBCO’s infrastructure portfolio much richer. The company has complemented these ‘horizontal’ acquisitions with [...]
Posted on Friday, June 24, 2011 by Neil Ward-DuttonOn Monday, with the official launch of Tibbr, enterprise integration specialist TIBCO joined the crowded market for enterprise social software tools. Although at first sight the launch of a social software platform by a vendor previously seen primarily as an IT infrastructure technology company might seem like an odd move: but as was pointed out [...]
Posted on Wednesday, February 2, 2011 by Angela AshendenThis week we launched the latest in our series of MWD Insights events. This time we’re looking at Process Intelligence (PI). PI is something that’s been around as a concept for a while now, but we’ve found a lot of confusion out there still as to what its focus and scope actually is. Is it [...]
Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2011 by Beth BarlingBack in September I reported briefly on TIBCO’s third quarter results: in that quarter, it saw a strong year-on-year revenue rise of 23%. Today TIBCO announced that its fourth quarter matched its third in terms of year-on-year revenue growth with another 23% rise; overall for its 2010 financial year revenue was up 21%. Earlier in [...]
Posted on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 by Neil Ward-DuttonLast week, infrastructure generalist vendors TIBCO and Progress Software, both of which sell BPM technology alongside complementary technology (event processing, ESB, data integration, analytics, and so on) announced their Q3 financial results. TIBCO announced that it had achieved 23% growth year-on-year in both license revenue and overall; Progress announced that it had achieved 8% growth [...]
Posted on Monday, September 27, 2010 by Neil Ward-DuttonAt TIBCO’s TUCON user conference a couple of weeks back, CEO Vivek Ranadivé unveiled the themes that his company plans to use to anchor its marketing over the next year at least: Enterprise 3.0 and the “two-second advantage”. Unsurprisingly given his predilection for publishing books that provide the backstories for his company’s direction (see The [...]

Last week I was invited to speak as part of the London leg of TIBCO’s NOW roadshow, which focused primarily on Cloud computing and TIBCO’s new Silver offering (you can see what we think about that specifically in this report). My job was to talk about “articulating the value of Cloud computing”. This was a [...]
