TIBCO Software Inc., a global leader in enterprise data, empowers its customers to connect, unify, and confidently predict business outcomes, solving the world's most complex data-driven challenges. Today, TIBCO announced a series of breakthrough enhancements to its Unify data management portfolio, including its TIBCO® Data Virtualisation and TIBCO EBX® products. These solutions dramatically empower an organisation’s data fabric, enabling customers to unlock the vast potential of data.

According to a recent survey by analyst firm Gartner, “data management teams report spending 56% of their time on production initiatives, but only 22% of their time on innovation.” The critical updates to TIBCO’s data management solutions specifically focus on these issues, delivering complete ease-of-use to all users and enabling a flexible approach to critical data fabric requirements. With significantly improved user interfaces and low-code implementation, customers with little to no technical knowledge can take full advantage of these products to innovate with data. In addition, new cloud connectors and improved processing capacity help organisations of all types to unify and manage vast amounts of data.

“Successful organisations require a contemporary approach to address data challenges resulting from today's deluge of complex, poor quality data,” said Mark Palmer, senior vice president, engineering, TIBCO. “The enhancements we’ve added to our data management products radically change an organisation’s approach to data fabric, empowering all users within an organisation to join the data management revolution.” 

The enhancements to TIBCO EBX help customers quickly process hundreds of millions of records, enabling breakthroughs in their master data management efforts. Organisations can now take advantage of embedded web interfaces and low-code scripting across EBX®, easily creating or designing custom forms, processes, and rules with little to no SQL knowledge. In addition, EBX now has graphical editors to match, merge, and analyse data, along with new built-in services incorporated into the workflow, such as data lineage.

"Data-driven decision-making depends on high-quality data, as well as time-to-insight, ease-of-access, and transparency for all users," said Shayne Chidlaw, team lead, Innovation and Analytics, Rife Resources. “TIBCO Data Virtualisation allows us to unify data from disparate sources, resulting in new insights to drive the business forward. The solutions offered by TIBCO continue to lead the market with the ability to robustly visualise data in real time, allowing us to respond quickly to the needs of our business.”

TIBCO Data Virtualisation delivers a new, simple web-based interface, empowering business users to self-serve and transform their data. With its searchable data catalog, TIBCO Data Virtualisation now enables users to view and find data sources across their organisational silos, ensuring data is reused to the fullest extent, saving organisational time and effort. The solution also provides out-of-the-box connectivity to popular cloud data sources, including Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, and Google BigQuery, providing customers even more flexibility to virtualise their data within a cloud or hybrid architecture.

“Many data management solutions in the market promise they are easy to use, quick to implement, and will empower workforces with new access to crucial business data. However, it can still take days or weeks for departments to gain access to the data they need, perform analyses, and make the data actionable,” said Bruno Billy, president, North America, Apgar Consulting. “TIBCO overcomes those challenges through its leading data management solutions, bringing users faster time-to-value with new ways to match, merge, and analyse data. These new capabilities, combined with Apgar's pragmatic advisory and tailor-made approach to deliver services address today’s most pressing data management issues.”
