Borland, TIBCO capitalise on synergies

Integration of TIBCO Enterprise for Java Messaging Service Engine with Borland Enterprise Server to optimise performance in high-volume transactional environments.
Johannesburg, 18 Aug 2003

Borland Software Corporation and TIBCO Software Inc, today announced a strategic relationship and global agreement to embed and distribute TIBCO Enterprise for Java Messaging Service engine with Borland Enterprise Server, Team Edition and future versions of Borland Enterprise Server.

Both Borland and TIBCO help customers enhance IT cost control through application integration and interoperability across mixed technology organisations. The technology integration is designed to optimise J2EE application communication, scalability, and performance in high-volume transactional environments within vertical markets such as telecommunications and financial services. Independent software vendors who embed the Borland Enterprise Server within their products also benefit.

"Our work together represents the ability of our two companies to capitalise on the inherent synergies that exist between us. It is all part of our ongoing commitment to ensure an outstanding customer experience," said Dale L Fuller, president and CEO of Borland. "With this technology integration we are leveraging TIBCO`s expertise and experience as a respected provider of high-performance messaging software and business integration."

Borland Enterprise Server also integrates with the Borland application lifecycle management solution for the definition, design, develop, testing, and deployment stages of application development.

"This relationship really addresses the need of customers to have better integration points with our enterprise application integration infrastructure while designing their applications," said Vivek Ranadive, TIBCO chairman, president and CEO. "This improves the overall business integration effort from the business analyst, architect and developer all the way up to the CTO."
