TIBCO Unveils Vision for Business Analytics

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 4 — TIBCO Software Inc. today unveiled its vision for the TIBCO Analytics platform, and previewed new solutions and updates for TIBCO Spotfire and TIBCO Jaspersoft. TIBCO detailed how it will make enterprise data accessible more quickly to all users, wherever they are, and in whatever application they are working. The TIBCO Analytics platform is able to achieve this through the combined solutions of its fast, easy-to-use data visualization capabilities from Spotfire, along with contextual insight through embedded reporting and analytics (BI) from Jaspersoft.

“In order to succeed, modern organizations must move at unprecedented velocity. Having access to actionable data that is contextually relevant, and delivered in real time, is critical to being nimble, proactive and allowing all business users to make better decisions,” Brian Gentile, senior vice president and general manager, TIBCO Analytics. “With the combined power of Jaspersoft and Spotfire, TIBCO is uniquely positioned to utilize deep understanding of the data analytics market to deliver simple, fast, and elegant solutions to empower end-user through data.”

The following advancements are being delivered by TIBCO Analytics, and will be available to new and existing customers by the end of 2014:

  • TIBCO Jaspersoft 6:This update to the Jaspersoft platform includes a new dashboard designer that gives developers a faster and easier way to build and deploy dashboards using a new version of its innovative embeddable BI framework — called Visualize.js. Now developers can quickly build and embed interactive reports and dashboards inside their application, using the control and simplicity of JavaScript.
  • TIBCO Spotfire Cloud Update: TIBCO introduced TIBCO Spotfire Recommendations, the new intelligent analytics recommendation engine designed for business userswho need to analyze data, but are not experts in analytics techniques. Spotfire Recommendations delivers the correct visualization the first time to speed decision-making, and eliminate the trial-and-error process associated with other suggestion-based solutions.
  • Spotfire and Jaspersoft Interoperability:Over time, TIBCO customers will be able to increasingly combine the power of the Jaspersoft business intelligence platform with the data visualization capabilities of Spotfire. Early examples of interoperability include broadening the reach of insight from Spotfire through Jaspersoft’s reporting platform and enriching Jaspersoft reports with Spotfire GeoAnalytics’ map-based visualizations.
  • Spotfire on AWS Marketplace: TIBCO Spotfire will be available through AWS Marketplace, giving users data visualization in a pay-as-you-go basis for Amazon Redshift and more. In addition, the Jaspersoft business intelligence platform on AWS Marketplace adds a new annual subscription with professional support to complement its popular hourly service.
