TIBCO takes top honours in Bloor Research 2006 business process management report


Johannesburg, 30 Jan 2007

TIBCO Software has announced that Bloor Research has awarded TIBCO iProcess Suite its top honour, the Platinum Award.

This selection follows an extensive and comprehensive review of current business process management (BPM) offerings, including those from BEA, IBM, Oracle, and Fujitsu.

The research report, "Business process management - the next generation of business enablers," published in November 2006, provides an in-depth review of the business drivers behind BPM, market directions and future trends.

Bloor Research's BPM report evaluates vendors in six key product areas: process modelling, human interaction support, proactive and reactive capability, process improvement, management support and system integration. In order to be included in the report, vendors had to attain the minimum required score in all six areas which constitute Bloor Research's BPM component stack.

As the only BPM vendor to receive the Platinum Award, TIBCO was lauded for its unique achievement in qualifying at the gold level in both the people-centric and systems-centric BPM sub-types identified in the report.

"TIBCO has shown consistent leadership in the BPM and BPM/SOA market and is the vendor furthest along the path to a truly unified product set that supports the variety of roles within an organisation frequently engaged in the full lifecycle of business processes," says Terry Schurter, CIO of Bloor Research's BPM group and author of the report.

"TIBCO has a strong vision for its BPM solution and has backed it up with multiple product enhancements over the last year, with aggressiveness uncharacteristic of companies in the EAI industry, of which TIBCO is also a market leader."

"Receiving the Platinum Award from Bloor Research reinforces our leadership position in BPM. Only TIBCO iProcess Suite provides our business users and IT staff the ability to collaborate on business processes across the full spectrum of BPM requirements, meeting the needs of people, systems and everything in between," says Marco Gerazounis, TIBCO Country Manager, SA.
