TIBCO sees 24.7% market share growth

Johannesburg, 06 Jun 2005

TIBCO Software Inc, a leading enabler of real-time business and the world`s largest independent business integration software company, today announced that market research firm Gartner Dataquest, Inc reported that TIBCO saw 24.7% market share growth in 2004 over its market share in 2003 based on new licence revenue.

The Gartner Dataquest report, entitled "Market Share: AIM and Portal Software, Worldwide, 2004, Preliminary (Executive Summary)" analyses the 2004 new licence revenues of software vendors in the application integration, middleware and portal marketplace.

For Application Platform Suite Composite Market Share and New Licence Revenue in 2004, TIBCO showed year-over-year growth of 24.7%, placing among the top five vendors in the category.

According to the Gartner Dataquest report, the numbers in the Application Platform Suite category are most noteworthy as this is the area where the true battle for market share is occurring. Application platform suites are composite products, synergistically combining the benefits of application servers, integration suites and portal products.

"Business today is moving at breakneck speed and is in a constant state of change. Advancing and enriching the flow of information is more critical to business success than ever before," said Ram Menon, senior vice-president, Worldwide Marketing, TIBCO Software Inc.

"TIBCO is grabbing market share -- reinforcing the power of our Predictive Business vision, strength of execution and ability to consistently deliver flexible, robust solutions that bring tangible business benefits to our customers."

Gartner Dataquest released the results of its 2004 market share survey in the application integration, platform middleware and portal sectors on 17 April at the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit in Los Angeles.
